Client Services and Growth Manager
Southern Cross Wellness Partners
Southern Cross Wellness Partners was established in 2024 through the merger of Raise Mental Health (EAP and mental health services) and MedPro Healthcare (occupational health nursing). As a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Cross Healthcare, our vision is to help people live their best lives by reimagining healthcare. Guided by our Reimagining 2033 Strategy, we’re shaping the next generation of healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand—creating an integrated, connected ecosystem that supports patients, their whānau, specialists, and funders across the full continuum of care.
As we evolve from a hospital group to a comprehensive healthcare organisation, we’re expanding our capabilities, unlocking new markets and partnerships, and strengthening our ability to deliver innovative, purpose-driven care. As New Zealand’s largest non-government healthcare provider and one of its most trusted brands, we’re uniquely positioned to deliver healthcare like no other.
