Our partnership with Southern Cross in 2016 marked an important step in our journey, and we are now proud to be fully owned by Southern Cross. Together, we are committed to ensuring our clients receive the right help, at the right time, so they can get back on track and live meaningful, fulfilling 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.
