Hiring your first US employee?

Health insurance doesn't work like it does at home — and getting it wrong is expensive. We match Australian businesses expanding to the US with brokers who actually understand what you're dealing with.

The problem

US health insurance isn't like anything you've dealt with in Australia

There's no Medicare equivalent — health coverage is employer-sponsored, and your US hires will expect it as part of the job.

Rules, carriers, and costs vary state by state.

Foreign-owned entities and visa-linked employees (E-3, L-1, and others) raise questions most brokers have never had to answer.

Getting the group plan wrong early is hard — and costly — to unwind later.

The Crossbridge difference

We're not a directory. We're a match.

Free for you.

We're paid by the broker on placement, not by you.

Specialist match, not a lead-gen dump.

We match you personally, based on your state, headcount, and industry.

Fluent in the AU-to-US context.

Experience with foreign parent companies, Australian directors, and visa-status employees.

Fast.

Matched with the right broker in days, not weeks of cold research.
