Studentsafe Insurance
Since 2005, Mercer Marsh Benefits has continued to grow and develop the Studentsafe International Student Insurance Programme to ensure it not only meets but exceeds the Code of Practice for the pastoral care of international students. As part of this commitment, we care deeply about the mental well-being of international students, which is why we’ve increased the mental illness benefit limit from $20,000 to $30,000. Our goal is to provide the care and support students need to thrive, both academically and personally.
The Studentsafe International Student Insurance Programme now supports over 40,000 international students across New Zealand, covering a diverse range of educational providers, including approximately 80 schools.
As part of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Mercer Marsh Benefits is a global leader in insurance broking and risk management. They work closely with primary and secondary schools, developing market-leading insurance solutions that continuously evolve to meet the changing needs of international students. At the heart of the Studentsafe approach is a commitment to empathy, support, and advocacy, backed by an experienced team that genuinely cares about the well-being of students and their families.
Studentsafe Medical and Travel insurance policies are issued and managed by Allianz Partners. While part of a global insurance network, Allianz Partners provides the personalised service expected from a smaller company. Based in Auckland, their team of approximately 70 local staff, including dedicated Customer Care and Claims Teams, ensures international students receive the support they need throughout their studies in New Zealand. Additionally, 24/7 Emergency Assistance is available to provide help whenever it's needed.
The partnership between Mercer Marsh Benefits and Allianz Partners delivers a comprehensive approach to student insurance, ensuring the seamless and effective management of the Studentsafe Programme.
