HCF award-winning pet insurance

Owning a pet comes with many financial responsibilities, and with potential vet bills constituting a huge chunk of that commitment, getting pet insurance for your furry friend could be a wise move.

Long-known for its insurance offerings, HCF pet insurance was created to help pet parents get the most from their pet insurance cover. And as an extra incentive, if you’re already a HCF Ruby or Diamond member, you could save up to 15% on your pet insurance (terms, Conditions and Eligibility criteria apply).

HCF took home a 2022 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Pet Insurance^ award for Exceptional Quality Pet Insurance.

HCF has been putting Australians’ health first for more than 85 years, established all the way back in 1932. Not only does HCF provide a range of industry-leading health insurance products, but they are Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund, protecting over 1.5 million Aussies nationwide.
