Health Care, Wellbeing and Support

If you are a visa holder and it allows you to stay in New Zealand for two or more years, you are eligible to enrol with a medical centre. If this is not your case, you will have to pay full price when using health services.

For regular health and medical care, it is a good idea to register the whole family with a general practice. The doctor is also known as a general practitioner, or GP. Most general practices are part of a Primary Health Organisation (PHO) which allows patients to receive cheaper doctor’s visits and reduced costs of prescription medicines. You can ask your local general practice if they are part of a PHO. Children under the age of 14 years can visit the doctor for free.
