MEDICUS
Assured support when you need it
Important Notice
Medicus is no longer accepting new members and Aon/NZI will not be accepting renewal from existing members and policyholders with effect from December 1, 2025.
​
The Medicus Board recommend to all existing members and potential new members that they sign for a professional indemnity policy with New Zealand Medical Indemnity Insurance Ltd (NZMII). NZMII offers policies to registered health professionals which provide comparable cover to that previously offered through Medicus, at the same or similar price.
​
If you are seeking the assurance of an insurance-based cover, over that of a Mutual Society offering discretionary cover, we refer you to NZMII.

In a member's words
Dr Eric Tan
Waikato Hospital
‘I came across Medicus by chance when I arrived in New Zealand to practise Plastic Surgery in 2016 and can only compare my experience with Medicus to other UK indemnity institution. The support I received from Medicus for medicolegal matters over the years can only be summarised as akin to a clinician consulting another trusted colleague at work. In today’s ever evolving world of increasing political complexities and societal dynamics; I do not feel I can serve my patients to my best ability without the confidence of knowing I am supported by Medicus.’
