“WE’RE PROUD NEW ZEALANDERS feel they can turn to Southern Cross when life doesn’t necessarily go to plan,” says Nick Astwick, Chief Executive. The purpose not profit driven 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.

Southern Cross looks after the health of more than 955,000 New Zealanders, providing them with great value, high-quality health cover. It expanded membership benefits in 2022, allowing members to access unlimited online GP consultations, three online mental health sessions and a health check each policy year*. These benefits have been taken up well, with almost 40,000 claims made for these benefits during 2023. It 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. And thank you for voting us Most Trusted Health Insurer for eight consecutive years. We’re proud to be New Zealand’s award-winning insurer.”^**
