Staff Benefits
Being part of the Hospice New Zealand network can provide benefits beyond our sector-wide advocacy, education and resources.
We work with partners and providers to identify opportunities that can offer additional value to people working in Hospice New Zealand member hospices. These may include access to wellbeing programmes, special offers and other benefits designed to support hospice staff.
Fitness Passport
Hospice New Zealand has partnered with Fitness Passport to make its workplace health and fitness programme available to eligible staff working in participating member hospices.
Fitness Passport provides access to a wide network of gyms, pools and fitness facilities through one membership, giving staff greater flexibility in where and how they exercise.
Participating hospices can choose whether to offer Fitness Passport to their staff. If your hospice has joined the programme, information on eligibility, membership options, costs and how to sign up will be available through your hospice.
Interested in accessing Fitness Passport?
Check with your manager or your hospice's nominated Fitness Passport contact to find out whether your hospice is participating and how to join.

More benefits to come
We are continuing to look for opportunities that can provide meaningful benefits and value to our member hospices and their people.
As new staff benefits become available, we’ll add them here and share information with our member network.
If there is a staff benefit, service or collective opportunity you think could be valuable across the hospice sector, we’d be interested to hear about it.
