Did you know that as a PSA member, you are eligible to join HealthCarePlus, a not-for-profit organisation, co-owned by the PSA to support your wellbeing.
HealthCarePlus gives eligible union members (and their families) the chance to be part of a uniquely generous and affordable healthcare scheme that’s designed to benefit you in everyday life – not just when you’re sick.
So now, you can get even more out of your PSA membership... and get more support and protection for you and your family’s health.
If you're a PSA member and not yet a HealthCarePlus Member, why not take a closer look?
