Our values

In everything we do, we’ll be bold, warm, and honest to help our people thrive.

Our values were developed by our people working at Australian Unity through a series of focus groups from across the organisation. Our people were asked what it was like to work for us, how did they interact with others, and how would they like their workplace to feel?

So our values are partially a reflection on how it feels to work here, and partly aspirational – how do we want to work with each other.

Bold

When we are Bold we think big, think it through, have a go, do it well, and keep learning.

Warm

When we are Warm, we care about people, welcome difference, inspire each other, understand our customers, and make people smile.

Honest

When we are Honest we talk straight, do what we say, earn trust, take responsibility and strive to do what’s right.

Our culture

At Australian Unity we believe that the positive culture of our organisation is the key to our capability to deliver products and services that provide community value and help people thrive.

A positive culture is a representation of how well we work together to demonstrate the values, strategies, beliefs and principles of Australian Unity, and can be expressed by “how things work around here”.

We have defined a desired culture so that we can continually work towards a work environment that makes a difference.

Our desired culture is one where we aspire to truly understand and respond to the needs of our customers.

We also focus on stretching and experimenting so we can deliver the best possible products and services for the future. We focus on trust and accountability and work on achieving best outcomes for our customers and the community.

Inclusiveness, access and enablement

Australian Unity’s heritage is based on joining people together, and today we work to bring life to the value of the modern mutual.

Our values reinforce a culture where all our people feel valued, included and can contribute equally to their work environment.

We believe that when our workforce reflects the diversity of our customers we can better support the communities we connect with.

Reconciliation Australia

With just over 180 years since it was established. Australian Unity's history is a flash in time compared to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rich and continuing connection to the land, waterways and seas for time immemorial, but our organisation has long been involved in the public discourse regarding the nation's future.

Australian Unity is now one of the largest employers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in NSW.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan focuses both on practical measures to support Australia's First Peoples, and is also an opportunity to discuss matters such as recognition in the Commonwealth Constitution, and the conversation about Australia Day.
