Hauora Health Centre appointments for International Students with Studentsafe Insurance will not generally not require payment.  Before your first visit, you must complete a registration form and present your current student card, passport and a copy of your student visa.  If you are asked for proof of Studentsafe cover, please show them your NMIT offer document and payment receipt.  

Note that healthcare costs may be payable for any preexisting conditions not covered by your insurer.  

Book an appointment online, call  03 548 8663 or email reception@hauorahealth.nz .  The centre is located about 5 minutes away from Nelson Campus at 105 Collingwood Street.

If you need urgent medical care or are unwell after business hours, you can visit the Urgent & After Hours Medical Care service. You will need to pay the visit cost and keep a receipt to lodge a claim with your insurer.
