Healix International has opened a new office in Melbourne as the company plans for continued growth across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
According to the company, the Melbourne office marks a key step in the development of Healix International’s three-hub regional operating model – across EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. This step allows the company to support growing operations in the region, improve time zone coverage, and strengthen delivery for clients and partners across APAC alongside their New Zealand office.
Healix International, which has operated in Australia through trusted partners for a number of years, is also committed to strengthening its regional capabilities by hiring local talent to enhance the management of regulatory, operational, and people-related risks. The firm will recruit locally for roles across its security and medical teams, including positions such as security analysts, security managers, incident coordinators, and nurses.
Commenting on the new office in Melbourne and the firm’s ambitions in the region, James Henderson, CEO of Healix International said:
- “Expanding into Australia marks a pivotal step in our strategic growth across the Asia-Pacific region. Melbourne’s strong economy, skilled workforce, and regional connectivity make it an ideal hub for us to better serve our clients and partners as we look to build our market share.
- “The city has deep expertise in key areas we care about, such as tech, professional services, and security as we look to recruit local talent with local knowledge to fill essential positions to build a strong team.
- “Our operations in Melbourne will also significantly boost our current offering in New Zealand and will ensure that we continue to deliver consistent, around-the-clock support across time zones. We’re excited to invest in the city and deepen our commitment to delivering high-quality, risk-managed solutions across the region.”
Established in the UK in 1992 by Dr Paul Beven and Dr Peter Mason, Healix International was set up as a medical assistance provider built on clinical expertise. Headquartered in Esher in Surrey (UK), today the company is still independently owned and provides a diverse suite of healthcare and risk management services – including security risk management, travel risk solutions, emergency assistance and medical support.
Healix International has offices in the UK, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and the US.
