Bupa Australia today announced its continued commitment to the health of corporate Australia through the purchase of one of the largest and most successful corporate wellness businesses in the country, PEAK Health Management.
This landmark acquisition marks a significant move by Bupa Australia in the corporate wellness market; a sector with enormous growth potential as more and more companies recognise the long-term benefits to the bottom-line of having a healthy workforce.
The high-quality services delivered by PEAK will now be supported by one of the nation's largest healthcare companies, Bupa Australia, which operates leading private health insurance brands MBF, HBA and Mutual Community.

Richard Bowden, Bupa Australia's Managing Director, said:
"We are confident this acquisition will enable Bupa to tackle the broad spectrum of health-related challenges in the workplace, and we look forward to providing an enhanced range of health services for our clients,"
PEAK will continue to offer corporate clients an extensive range of tailored employee services such as health checks, health education, group exercise programs, gym management, online wellness solutions and tailored wellness programs. Services also include seminars and workshops on diet, stress management, exercise classes, massage and flu vaccinations.
Bowden went on to say that an ever-increasing number of organisations - both here and abroad - are recognising the significant impact a healthy workforce has on the bottom line.
"Employee health is a core component of any business strategy that delivers a positive working environment, fosters a productive and motivated workforce, and boosts employee attraction, retention and loyalty,"
Bowden continued that given the importance of improving the health and wellbeing of Australia's corporate community, Bupa will continue to look for opportunities to further enhance our offering.
The current Head of PEAK Health Management, Chris Rabba, will continue to lead the business into its new phase. Additionally, PEAK's employees will be retained, which will help provide continuity of service to its large number of private, public and government clients.
