Our History
Emergency Services Health was launched in 2016 in order to meet the healthcare needs of the first responder, emergency services and medical community. Emergency Services Health is brought to you by Police Health Limited, a not-for-profit, member based private health insurance fund. Police Health Limited has been operating since 1935, dedicated to delivering quality healthcare and benefits to its members in the police community. Realising the need for quality cover went beyond the policing community, Police Health Limited launched the Emergency Services Health brand.
Today, our health fund covers over 90,000 people nationwide across our two brands, providing true peace of mind and acting as a trusted partner in health and wellbeing.
