Join us as we work to make Tasmania the healthiest island on the planet

Imagine a health insurer doing more for Tasmanians.

A local, not-for-profit organisation, St Lukes has provided health insurance that’s been helping Tasmanians for over 70 years. Now we’re also providing a promise: to become the healthiest island on the planet.

This bold ambition is a promise to our members, our staff, and our state to make our island the healthiest it can be. We’ve already begun, investing in new processes, new products, and new people. We’re focusing on the things that will make a difference locally and leveraging our networks to create change.

Here at St Lukes, we know how oral hygiene can impact so many other health outcomes. In order to help tackle Tasmania’s oral health head on, we launched our Hobart Dental Practice in September of 2024 with the aim to provide affordable dental care to all Tasmanians.
