HealthCarePlus benefits for NZEI Te Riu Roa members

29 Mar 2023

In today’s world, it’s hard to be strong when you’re standing alone.

And when it comes to looking after the health and wellbeing of you, and your whānau, it’s equally hard to find a partner that’s genuinely focused on your interests – not just the profits that serve theirs.

So, the very same unions that protect your rights at work, created HealthCarePlus to protect what’s most important to you in life.

A unique program that’s designed to serve members, be purpose-driven, not commercial and designed to maximise member value, not profit.

At its core HealthCarePlus provides support to make primary healthcare more affordable, that benefits you in everyday life – not just when someone’s sick.

In addition to healthcare, HealthCarePlus has you covered when it comes to protecting what matters most to you in life. We provide member-only offers for life and trauma cover, travel insurance and Pet Cover too for your furry whānau.

Plus, we are adding more services all the time as we aim to support our members financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

And any surplus we do make, don’t go to owners or shareholders – but are used to benefit all workers in the education & public service sectors through our Grants For Good Charity Program.

So, when you protect what’s most important to you - be part of something bigger. Something with value. Something more genuine.

And something that helps our education sector, be better off too.

Be part of something better. With HealthCarePlus.

Look after your health and your whānau’s health

We are here to support you and your whānau with your health and wellbeing. We help you proactively look after your health and mental wellbeing by making primary healthcare more affordable, encouraging you to live a healthier life and helping you look after your mental wellbeing.
