Glenn Oellermann has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HIF, as Justin James concludes his employment after almost five years in the role.
Oellermann has been the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) since 2011, where he’s supported HIF through sweeping industry reforms, including the turbulence of the COVID-19 Pandemic, while bolstering the fund’s position by delivering several years of sustained financial performance. With an unwavering ambition to help members live healthier lives, Oellermann was proud to see the fund celebrate 70 years as a not-for-profit, member-focused fund in 2024.
“I’ve been part of HIF since 2005 and served as CFO for almost 15 years. It is a privilege to take up the position as Chief Executive Officer of the fund at an exciting juncture in our journey. This year, we have delivered the lowest average premium increase of all Private Health Funds across Australia, which is a clear signal to our members that we are doing all we can to ensure value in our pricing and services.
“Last year we processed over 500,000 claims and paid out $144 million in benefits, which is incredibly important in demonstrating tangible value to our members.
“For the almost 100,000 lives covered by HIF, I look forward to the next chapter, where continued product reform and digital experience remain key areas of focus. Supporting our members to lead healthy lives is our core purpose and we will do our part in instilling confidence in our industry by always putting our members first,” concluded Oellermann.
