“NEW ZEALANDERS KNOW we are with them, supporting nearly 940,000 people to live healthier lives for longer. They want to be the best parent, partner, sister, brother and friend possible – and good health can contribute to this,” says Nick Astwick, Chief Executive for Southern Cross Health Insurance. 

The for-purpose Friendly Society introduced health insurance to New Zealand more than 60 years ago. Its focus is, and always has been, on enabling more healthy years for its members. 

Membership benefits include access to online GP or nurse consultations when booked through the My Southern Cross app, three online mental health sessions with Raise each claims year, and a health check for members aged 16 and over each claims year*. Southern Cross also pays out more in claims than any other New Zealand health insurer⁺. 

“When you’re with us, we’re with you,” says Mr Astwick. “Thank you, New Zealand, for trusting us with your health insurance needs.”
