Early History
With a history dating back over 140 years, NobleOak is one of Australia’s oldest life insurers, which began in 1877 as the ‘United Ancient Order of Druids (UAOD) Friendly Society of NSW’ when it became an established mutual society.

The origins of the modern-day Druids date back to 1781, when the ‘Ancient Order of Druids’ was founded in London, England.

The name ‘Druids’ refers to the ancient Druids within ancient Celtic culture from Britain, Ireland and France (Gaul) who, from around 1,000 BC to 1,000 AD, were an educated community of philosophers, teachers and judges. Friendly Societies were formed for the mutual benefit of their members and aimed to provide help where it was most needed. These benefits included sick pay, funeral benefits, supply of medical attention and medicines and, in some cases, assistance with the purchase of tools of trade.

Recent History
The United Ancient Order of Druids Friendly Society of NSW that was established as a mutual society in 1877 used the motto ‘United to Assist.’ The UAOD Friendly Society of NSW was demutualized in 2011 and became NobleOak Life Limited (‘NobleOak’).

Druids’ House at 302 Pitt Street in Sydney, NSW, became a central place to gather for monthly board meetings and annual conferences for the United Ancient Order of Druids. They eventually purchased the building in 1927. At the time of the 1928 opening ceremony, the United Ancient Order of Druids had approximately 240,500 members and was playing an active role as a Friendly Society in Sydney.

This office block was sold to developers in late 2013 and was transformed into a hotel. The Lodge Room on level four is the only direct reminder of the Druids’ occupation of the premises, however it is not heritage protected. The building facade and windows will be retained, most of which date back to 1927.

In addition, Druids Court in Allambie Heights in Sydney, NSW, was opened on the 17th June, 1967, by the United Ancient Order of Druids, and established as a Home for Aged Members.

NobleOak has achieved success with a number of awards. Over three consecutive years in 2016, 2017 and 2018, NobleOak won the Canstar Five-Star Outstanding Value Awards for Direct Life and Income Protection Insurance. In 2016, NobleOak won the Strategic Insight Direct Life Insurance Overall Excellence Award.
