Who is Peoplecare?
You’ve probably seen Peoplecare’s logo around a lot recently on the triathlon circuit and as the naming rights sponsor of Tri the Gong and a presenting partner of the Husky Tri. But what does Peoplecare do? Peoplecare is a not-for-profit health insurer based in Wollongong. Peoplecare provides great value private health insurance and fantastic customer service.
