Protection without the politics

We are run by nurses, not union officials. Zero party politics means lower fees and complete focus on achieving meaningful outcomes for our members.

As New Zealand's most affordable union, our members save on fees compared to other unions, without sacrificing protection or peace of mind.

Excited to find a union that is affordable, non-political and actually cares about it's members! Joined and received a phone call within a day, then I had some questions a few weeks later and Sarah was able to answer them quickly and professionally. Best decision I ever made.

Couldn't have been more helpful and professional. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. More affordable than the union I had paid for years (who were not helpful at all when I needed them).

All good so far! I received a call after signing up from a really friendly staff member (who has worked as nurse).
