UFS is a mutual organisation owned entirely by its members. We exist for the benefit of our members, working to improve the health of both our members and the local communities where we operate.
For just $10 per year, you too can become a member of UFS and enjoy the benefits membership brings, including pharmacy and medical care with attractive discounts and access to member only services.
Supporting your community
As a member, you also help support your community. UFS donated over $100,000 to community groups last year through sponsorship and donations.
