Seasonal Worker Insurance

Planning to work in horticulture / viticulture in New Zealand?

OrbitProtect Seasonal Worker Insurance has been designed specifically for the protection of overseas horticulture and viticulture workers in New Zealand. We understand the needs of seasonal workers like no one else!

As of 1 December 2009, employers in the horticulture and viticulture industries are responsible for ensuring all their overseas seasonal workers have private visitors medical insurance. The workers, officially known as Registered Seasonal Employees (RSEs), will pay for the insurance. The change of government policy came about to reduce the burden on the taxpayer-funded public health system.

OrbitProtect Seasonal Worker Insurance has been designed specifically for RSEs.
