Health Tick Limited

What Health Tick Limited does

Health Tick Limited is a New Zealand-based occupational health and wellbeing services company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Auckland (Takapuna). The company was established as an extension of The Drug Detection Agency (TDDA) to address demand from TDDA's employer clients for integrated workplace health services beyond drug testing. Health Tick delivers a suite of eight core services — pre-employment medicals, driver medicals, annual health monitoring, wellbeing assessments, exit medicals, flu vaccinations, respirator fit testing, and drug testing (via TDDA partnership) — to NZ employers across transport, construction, manufacturing, insurance, and other regulated industries. Services are delivered by a national team of registered nurses either on-site at client workplaces, through a mobile van, or at a fixed network of more than 20 clinics spanning both North and South Islands from Whangarei to Invercargill.

The company's proprietary technology asset is Imperans, a bespoke software platform built on Microsoft Azure with Always Encrypted data protection, enabling clients to order and track health assessments, access real-time reports, and view workforce health dashboards. The platform is supported by annual independent security reviews, multi-factor authentication, and compliance with NZ Privacy Act 2020, the Health Information Privacy Code, GDPR, and HIPAA. Drug and alcohol testing is delivered under IANZ accreditation through TDDA. Health Tick's revenue is generated on a unit-pricing basis for assessment packages (Basic 35-minute, Standard 60-minute, Premium 75-minute) and on-site flu vaccinations (minimum 15 per engagement), with seasonal flu programmes (2025, 2026) and pharmacy voucher redemption for remote workforces extending the channel mix. Distribution is sales-led, targeting NZ employers directly through the website, LinkedIn, email newsletter, SEO, and referral.

Leadership combines healthcare and operational expertise: CEO Glenn Dobson (former NZ Police Senior Sergeant and TDDA operator), Chairman Jim Doyle (former Navman CEO who scaled the business from $3M to $500M), Director Andrew Wong (public health specialist with 25+ years experience), Director Kirk Hardy (TDDA co-founder), and General Manager Sarah Bate-Simpson (appointed April 2023, 20+ years in health operations). Health Tick operates as a private subsidiary of TDDA with its own board of directors and independent management, and serves clients including Orion Haulage, nib New Zealand, Waiotahi Contractors, McCormick Carrying, Jackson Enterprises, accedo, and IDEMO. No revenue, funding, or financial figures are publicly disclosed.
