Healthcare
The Healthcare segment results incorporate activities from the Group’s retail health insurance fund, the corporate health insurance fund (GU Health), dental clinics, and allied health operations (Remedy Healthcare).
The half-year included the acquisitions of Mobile Physio in July and Lincs Healthcare in December. Both acquisitions support expansion of Remedy’s footprint. Remedy also continues to expand chronic disease management programs, and during the period launched its mental health program, MindStep.
The number of policyholders in both the retail and corporate health insurance funds has remained largely stable.
Notwithstanding this positive half-year result for the Healthcare business, the underlying economics of the Australian healthcare system continue to be under pressure.

Healthcare
Healthcare’s half-year result entrenches the business’ return to better financial performance following the material impacts from the external environment in periods prior to FY15. Despite industry-wide stressors, policyholder numbers in both funds have remained stable.

Independent and Assisted Living
Independent and Assisted Living operations include retirement communities and aged care facilities across NSW and Victoria, as well as a growing home care business in these states.
Growth in the existing home care operations continued to be a key factor underpinning the half-year result, with the business positioned well for further growth in this area associated with the transfer of the Home Care Service of NSW from the NSW Government. The transfer was formally completed on 19 February 2016.
A highlight of the half-year was the continuing high—and above industry average—occupancy levels which continue to be recorded at both retirement villages and aged care facilities.

Investments
The Investments segment results incorporate activities from the Group’s funds management, real estate investment, bonds and banking operations.
Several of the business’ leading funds produced very positive performance relative to the market and earned performance fees. Funds under management at 31 December 2015 was $8.2 billion (30 June 2015: $7.3 billion).
The ADI business, Big Sky Building Society, performed strongly, with continued positive growth in lending. Big Sky finished the half with $827 million in on-balance sheet assets at 31 December 2015 compared to $754 million at 30 June 2015.
During the half-year, Big Sky consistently outperformed peer system growth rates, with loan growth at record levels ($116 million of new loans during the period and net loan book growth of 10 percent).

Personal Financial Services includes activities from the Group’s financial advice, finance broking and estate planning and administrations business areas.
During the half-year the business completed the significant strategic acquisition of estate planning and administration specialists Flinders Australia Limited. This acquisition enables Australian Unity to offer a wider range of services.
The revenue increase was largely as a result of the Flinders Australia acquisition, along with increased productivity from existing advisers and brokers.
