LCU was established in 1954 by CSIRO staff members in North Ryde. LCU started off with just 30 or so members and has grown over the years and now has over 3,000 members extending well beyond CSIRO staff and their families.

When you call LCU you will always speak to a person. No call centres or automated phone systems when you call LCU - giving our members not only great personal service but also a one call service outcome. Whether it is over the phone or in our branch our members seem to love the personal service and a lot of our business comes from our referrals.
