Southern Cross Hospitals

We are part of a leading private healthcare group committed to getting the best value in healthcare for New Zealanders. By bringing together specialist capabilities and high-performing nursing teams, Southern Cross Hospitals uses its expertise to provide a highly efficient infrastructure for private elective surgery to be performed throughout the country. These ‘centres of excellence’ include modern and well-equipped operating theatres, consulting suites, specialist centres, and imaging facilities. Around 900 surgeons and anaesthetists use these hospital facilities in their private practice. While Southern Cross Hospitals does not employ doctors directly, all independent medical specialists complete a credentialling process before admitting patients to one of our hospitals. The majority of our patients are referred to medical specialists by their GPs. Our patients include Southern Cross members, policyholders from other insurance companies, self-funding patients, and patients whose surgery is funded under the public system. We contract with public healthcare funders including New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) and District Health Boards. •• Working For Southern Cross Hospitals •• Southern Cross Hospitals is characterised by a flexible, open workplace culture.
