Membership news

Spring is nearly here, a perfect opportunity to remind you of the services available to you as a member.

We’re finally moving into the warmer, and hopefully dryer weather, so if you’re thinking about getting an earlier start on your ‘spring clean’, whether it be tidying up your finances, health insurance, superannuation, or a DIY project you’ve been putting off, don’t forget the benefits below.

Union Shopper is Australia’s largest union-owned member benefits program and it’s free to all members. To take advantage please visit their website (www.unionshopper.com.au). You’ll just need your membership number to sign up. There are savings to be had across many sectors and exclusive monthly member offers.

Teachers Health is a not-for-profit health fund with more than 65 years’ experience. Built exclusively for the education community and their families, the fund offers both hospital and extras cover. If you’re not already a member, take the time to compare, visit the website for a 20-second quote (www.teachershealth.com.au). Teachers Health also offers household and car insurance.

Teachers Mutual Bank membership is open to citizens or permanent residents of Australia who are current or retired employees of the Australian education sector and their families. Founded by teachers over 50 years ago, Teachers Mutual is passionate about supporting the education sector and profits are returned via scholarship programs. Check their website (www.tmbank.com.au) for further details on savings accounts, credit cards, home loans, insurance, tax tips and more.

NGS Super is a leading industry super fund for those in the education and community sectors. NGS offers competitive fees, award-winning insurance and strong investment returns with all profits going back to members. Now might be the right time to ‘health check’ your super – the super you currently hold, the amount of super you are being paid, including any voluntary contributions, how many super accounts you hold and account fees you may be paying on multiple accounts and any insurance provided with your super. Compare your current details with the opportunities NGS can offer.

Best wishes and happy ‘spring cleaning’!
