Our mission

Helping New Zealanders get better healthcare, now and in the future.

 We are the specialists

Our focus is looking after the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders.

You get special treatment

Because health is all we do, we know more about it. We’re also in a better position to offer a full range of products and services, so that you can get exactly what you need.

The only health insurer offering wellness management

In New Zealand’s health insurance market, we are the only provider who has a broader view of healthcare. The wellness programmes we run and education material we produce are good examples of how we go further to enhance New Zealand’s wellbeing.

Nationwide coverage

Wherever you are in New Zealand, it’s easy to talk to a Southern Cross consultant about workplace health and wellness. Through our nationwide branches, we work with organisations of all sizes from SMEs to large corporations. In total, we’re helping close to half a million employees through workplace health insurance schemes.

Affiliated Provider network

Southern Cross is the only health insurer in New Zealand with an affiliated provider network. The medical professionals and health facilities within this network provide Southern Cross members with services at agreed prices. They also make it easier for members to get the care they need by organising prior approval and submitting invoices directly to Southern Cross.
