Will I receive free healthcare while in New Zealand?


Full details on eligibility to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health.

Please note  - most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment if it is not covered by your insurance.
