After an amazing 20 year partnership with HBA’s sister brand MBF, HBA took on the role established by MBF as of one Hawthorn’s longest-running sponsors.

MBF and HBA became sister brands in 2008 when HBA’s parent company, Bupa Australia, merged with MBF, creating the largest non-government operated health insurer in the country.   With a significant presence in every Australian State and Territory, Bupa proudly covers over three million Australians.

Bupa is focused on providing sustainable health insurance and financial services solutions that represent real value to customers, and on leading the industry in the promotion of preventative health and wellness - helping customers to better manage their health for the long-term.

HBA’s continued support for the Hawks re-enforces their commitment to a wide range of grass-roots community programmes associated with the Club.

In conjunction with the HFC, the youth development initiative HBA HighMarks is now in its 6th year. HBA HighMarks gives participants the chance to experience life within an elite Aussie rules team, as well as gain valuable guidance in relation to life skills, diet, nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

For Hawthorn fans insured with MBF or HBA little will change – in fact, they don’t have to do a thing. Members will now benefit from a bigger branch network and have a broader range of products and services to choose from.

The oval has also been refurbished and residents of the development are able to watch the Hawks train from their own front yards.
