Bupa & Patients Australia: Strengthening Care for the Community
Working with organisations that support better access, affordability and quality care is central to our work at Patients Australia. Bupa’s focus in these areas aligns with the outcomes we work towards for patients, carers and families, and provides a clear foundation for the impact achieved across our shared initiatives.
About Bupa
Bupa is a health and care organisation focused on helping Australians access quality healthcare and live well. Through its health insurance, care services and wide-ranging community partnerships, Bupa supports individuals, families and communities to navigate the health system with confidence and receive the care they need.
Achieving Impact
Bupa demonstrates its commitment to supporting patients, carers and families by recognising the people who provide essential care every day. Sponsoring the Outstanding Patient Carer Award at the Patients Australia Awards Gala highlights the importance of compassion, dedication and the vital role carers play in our health system.
Bupa also contributes to national work on virtual care through Amplar Health’s participation in the Australian Telehealth Standards Consortium. This involvement ensures the private health insurance perspective is represented in setting safe, high-quality and patient-centred telehealth standards.
Our collaboration focuses on:
• Celebrating and elevating the contributions of Australia’s carers
• Strengthening national efforts to ensure telehealth is safe, high-quality and patient-centred
• Advancing transparency and affordability through the Fair Fees, No Tricks, No Shocks campaign
Together, we’re working to make healthcare more transparent, supportive and responsive for patients and carers across Australia.
