New Zealand Seniors was established to provide cost effective insurance solutions for mature New Zealanders in 2019. We do this by providing a range of insurance products and policies, including Life and Funeral Insurance, designed with the needs of over 50’s in mind. We believe in supporting the aging community of New Zealand in a number of ways, and a big area is healthcare.
