As an SSTUWA member, you have access to a wide range of discounted products and services. From educational resources to discounted insurances, travel bargains to movie tickets, there’s something for everyone.

If you are new to teaching and the union, you might not be aware of all the different benefits SSTUWA membership entails, so we’ve picked out three you really should know about. For the full list, head to the member benefits section of Western Teacher here and sstuwa.org.au/benefits 

Journey Accident Cover

The SSTUWA Journey Cover insurance policy has been designed to provide cover for members during their commute between work and home. Workers’ Compensation does not cover accidents going to and from work. This covers the gap in Workers’ Compensation cover, giving peace of mind that in the event of an injury resulting in an inability to work, members can expect income protection.

Cover can apply to a variety of commuting methods, including but not limited to the use of motor vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, trains and walking.

Visit sstuwa.org.au/journeycover for more details.

Teachers Health Fund

Teachers Health was established in 1954 to provide cost-effective private health insurance for union members and their families. Teachers Health is a not-for-profit fund, meaning the priority is providing quality cover and value to members (not payouts for shareholders).

As a member of the SSTUWA, you’re invited to join! Join before 31 October with six weeks free, plus skip the two and six-month waits on extras when you join with hospital and extras.

Head to teachershealth.com.au/offer for more info.
