About Vahry


Being human in insurance is what we believe is the most important factor - nothing should be black and white, insurance and health outcomes need to be flexible, nimble, bespoke, fair and fit for purpose.

Vahry has built one of the leading reputations for successful claims and personalised service. No 0800 numbers, clients speak direct to our Managing Director.

We are proud to have built some of the strongest relationships with insurers in New Zealand where we can have open, transparent conversations to create wonderful opportunities for our communities.

Waikato’s largest after hours medical centre,  Anglesea Clinic Urgent Care is our most recent large organisation to join team Vahry.
