Southern Cross Health Insurance

At the heart of Southern Cross Health Society is a deeply ingrained culture of care and a steadfast commitment to the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders. Founded in 1961 with the pioneering vision of making private healthcare accessible, the organization has grown into one of the nation's most trusted brands, built on a not-for-profit ethos. This fundamental principle means that instead of focusing on generating profits for shareholders, any surplus is reinvested back into the business for the benefit of its members. This member-centric approach is the cornerstone of the company's identity, fostering a unique environment where every decision is guided by the ultimate goal of improving the lives of the people it serves. The team at Southern Cross is united by this shared purpose, creating a collaborative and supportive workplace where employees are empowered to make a tangible difference.

The culture at Southern Cross is one of continuous evolution and innovation, driven by a desire to meet the changing needs of its members in an increasingly complex world. The organization actively fosters a diverse and inclusive environment, recognizing that a wide range of perspectives is essential for growth and success. This is championed by a people-led Diversity and Inclusion Forum, ensuring that every employee feels valued and can bring their authentic self to work. Southern Cross is also deeply committed to a sustainable future for New Zealand, making conscious choices to reduce its environmental impact and contributing positively to the community. This commitment extends to its own people, with a holistic workplace wellbeing program designed to support the physical, mental, and financial health of its employees. By investing in its team and fostering a culture of care, Southern Cross ensures it can continue to deliver on its promise to be there for New Zealanders, not just in times of illness, but as a partner in their ongoing journey towards a healthier life.
