The Essendon Football Club is proud to announce Australian Unity as its Official Health Insurance Partner and Official AFL & AFLW Member Partner.

The partnership brings together two trusted Australian organisations, united by a commitment to community wellbeing, connection, and supporting people to thrive. 

As part of the agreement, Australian Unity will be featured across all AFL and AFLW member-related communications, with additional opportunities to connect with fans on match day and engage across the Club’s internal teams and expanding EFC Business Network.

Established in 1840, Australian Unity are Australia’s first wellbeing company, delivering health, wealth and care services for their members and the community. 

Essendon Football Club CEO Craig Vozzo believes the partnership reflects a strong alignment in values and purpose.

“We’re proud to welcome Australian Unity to the Essendon family," Vozzo said.

"Their long-standing commitment to health and wellbeing strongly aligns with our vision of building a healthier, more connected community - both on and off the field.” 

“This partnership truly embodies our commitment to being more than just a football club."

Australian Unity will also benefit from national exposure through Essendon’s digital and social channels and the opportunity to connect with the Club’s strong membership base and broader supporter network across the country.

Rebecca Harwood, CEO of Private Health Insurance at Australian Unity, said the partnership reflects Australian Unity’s commitment to real wellbeing.

“Essendon has always had a strong connection with its supporters and local community. That’s something we value deeply at Australian Unity,” Ms Harwood said.

“We’re focused on supporting people’s wellbeing in their daily lives. Whether it’s access to health care services, practical advice or just feeling more supported, that’s what this partnership is about.”

Essendon looks forward to working closely with Australian Unity to bring this partnership to life throughout the 2025 season.
