Markedly different operating environment compared to the prior year, following the unwinding of most of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions
Economy, businesses and communities faced the post-pandemic impact of significant investment market disruption and volatility, increasing
inflation, rapidly increasing interest rates and policy interventions in industry settings
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to be felt in many ways across the Group's businesses. We continued to respond to these conditions
by maintaining, and where possible improving, levels of service and responsiveness to the needs and wellbeing of members, customers and
employees, while pursuing efficiency measures to mitigate risks and curtail expenditures
Australian Unity remains positive about its capacity to respond to these challenges, including those posed by higher inflation, and looks to seize
the opportunities arising from the external environment of uncertainty and market disruption
Announced the deferral of the implementation of the 2023 premium increase for private health insurance (PHI) policyholders from 1 April 2023 to
1 November 2023
In addition, announced with these full-year accounts that it plans a further deferral of the 2023 premium increase until 1 April 2024
This deferral adds to the package of financial support and relief measures previously provided to support PHI policyholders through the pandemic
and is in recognition of the impact of restrictions on access to some healthcare services, and will bring the total support measures to some $98m
Further consumer support measures for eligible PHI policyholders will be considered by the board
