UFS (United Friendly Societies) is a member-owned mutual organisation whose purpose is to empower more people to live longer, healthier lives. As we are owned by our members (not by shareholders or private investors), any profits generated are invested back into the business to benefit our members and the community. This means we are keen supporters of a range of initiatives, organisations and community groups in the locations our businesses operate.
For just $10 per year, you 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. Your membership fee provides membership benefits for yourself, your partner and dependent children up to the age of 18 years (and full-time
student children up to the age of 25 years). A dependent adult requiring full-time care also receives membership benefits under your membership.
