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 Launceston Dental Practice in June of 2024 with the aim to provide affordable dental care to all Tasmanians.

Located at the confluence of three rivers - the North Esk, South Esk and kanamaluka/River Tamar - Launceston is the third oldest settlement in Australia, and the largest city in Northern Tasmania. Known for being a gastronomical hub, the Tamar Valley region also boasts a wide range of local produce and farmers markets.
