Southern Cross is a not-for-profit group of independent health-focused enterprises in New Zealand, and it stands as the country's largest non-public healthcare organisation. The group is not a single legal entity; it comprises two organisations: the Southern Cross Medical Care Society and the Southern Cross Health Trust. The Medical Care Society, established in 1961 and operating as Southern Cross Health Society, is New Zealand’s largest health insurer, with more than 800,000 members, and it also offers pet, travel, and life insurance. The Health Trust, founded in 1977, is a charitable entity that exists to benefit all New Zealanders, with a subsidiary that runs the hospital network and invests in other healthcare ventures. Based in Auckland, the group provides a range of health-related services, including private hospitals, healthcare, and wellness products, alongside various insurance offerings, to individuals and families across New Zealand. In June 2026, it announced a new Head and Neck Services program to enable rapid diagnosis for neck lumps, reflecting ongoing expansion of its hospital-based capabilities.
