TBI Health was founded in 2001 with a clear mission: to support people living with pain, illness, or injury. From 2016, we partnered with Southern Cross and are passionate about ensuring clients receive the right help at the right time to get back on track and live meaningful lives.
We pride ourselves on fostering a positive work environment that promotes staff wellbeing and career growth. Currently, we’re expanding our services to create new opportunities for our team to grow and thrive.
Equity is at the heart of what we do. As a New Zealand–owned company and committed Te Tiriti partner, we focus on building a workplace culture where all staff feel supported, valued, and enriched. We’re passionate about advancing health equity for Māori and delivering tailored, quality healthcare to meet the diverse needs of Aotearoa.

About the Lower Hutt Team
Our Lower Hutt clinic is located in the heart of the CBD, just a short walk from Queensgate Shopping Centre and the Hutt Riverbank walkway – ideal for a quick lunchtime break. The area offers excellent public transport options and plenty of nearby parking, making your commute simple.
The team is friendly and close-knit. There’s a morning quiz to start the day, shared morning teas once a week, and monthly team activities that help maintain a strong sense of connection.
We’re also committed to equity and community engagement. The team has continued to strengthen cultural capability and build meaningful relationships with Māori health providers and local iwi, ensuring our services meet the needs of the communities we work with.
