About TBI Health
TBI Health was created with a simple idea: to help people with pain, illness, or injury. TBI Health has come a long way since it began its journey in 2001. From 2016, we partnered with Southern Cross & together we are passionate about ensuring our clients get the right help, at the right time, to get them back on track & living meaningful lives.
We are known to offer an attractive work environment to support staff wellbeing and growth. Our current focus is to continue our work on introducing new services for our staff to become involved in and ultimately, help enhance their careers.
It is also important to TBI Health to continue having an equity-focused workplace culture where staff feel supported, enriched, & valued. As a NZ-owned company, we position ourselves as a Te Tiriti partner and have an ongoing commitment to health equity for Maori. Join us on this transformational journey of delivering tailored and quality healthcare service that meets the needs of our diverse Aotearoa.
