As you may know, New Zealand is a welfare state, which means citizens enjoy subsidized health care. But what does this affect international students?
Well, if you are in New Zealand on a regular student visa, unfortunately, you are not covered by the New Zealand health care system.
However, students under NZAID Development Assistance Programme (i.e. NZAS scholars) are considered NZ residents during their stay and enjoy this privilege. Here are your benefits:
- GP Care - includes funding for medicines and laboratory tests
- Hospital Care
- GP Referred Laboratory Tests, and
- GP Prescriptions
The University Clinic in Auckland Uni is at the Kate Edger Information Commons.
