It’s at times like these that your health and wellbeing becomes a top priority. Following the storms in Auckland and Cyclone Gabrielle, we reached out to our North Island-based Members who had been most affected by the extreme weather. However, it’s become very clear that the aftermath of Cyclone Grabrielle has had a significant impact on communities across New Zealand.

To support all our Members through these challenging times, access to three free mental health sessions is available. In addition, with Summer ending it’s a good time to take stock of our skin health. To support this, we have a new Member offer in partnership with MoleMap. Information on these services is detailed below and more offers will be available in coming months, so please watch this space.

This is also a great time to identify your health and wellbeing priorities for the year. Whether you’ve chosen to focus on eating well, taking more time out for you and your whānau, increasing your fitness, getting enough sleep or reducing your hours at work, it’s the small changes that can make a huge difference.

I hope you’ve also noticed the difference to our website. It’s modern and fresh, and is easier to navigate. Remember, you can still download our claims forms from our website and send them in to us via email, post or in person (for our Members based in Christchurch), the choice is yours.

At UniMed, we’re committed to continually enhancing the way we do things, for the better. This includes additional services and offers to support your health. However, we also understand that affordability is a concern for Members in the current environment. With this in mind, over coming months, you will start to see more offers from us that focus on improving your overall health and wellbeing, without adding extra pressure to your finances.

Ngā mihi nui,
