icare Foundation
icare Foundation is generating lasting impact for our customers in insurance and care through our innovative and collaborative funding model.
icare Foundation was established in 2016 to partner with organisations and innovations that extend the reach and support provided to our injured customers, their carers and families and to prevent or reduce injuries in the workplace.
Our aim is to improve customer outcomes in three icare schemes – Lifetime Care, Workers Insurance, and Treasury Managed Fund – and to solve problems in our community as part of icare’s role as a social insurer.
