Established in 1974 by a group of police officers wanting to help their colleagues, our organisation has grown and prospered thanks to the support of our police members. 

Our membership is open to people working in Victoria’s health industry, including hospitals, health centres and ancillary services.

In 1979, our membership was open to people working in Victoria’s fire services and by 1992 it was extended to include emergency services sector, including ambulance and health.

In 1992, our membership was extended to include the public sector, both at state and federal  levels.
