About The Cost of Health Care in New Zealand
Healthcare in New Zealand is a mixture of free services and subsidised services (where patients pay a fee to cover some of the costs). We will always try to ensure all our patients benefit from any funded services that they are eligible for.
Providing health care services and running a medical centre comes at a cost, including wages, building costs, medical equipment, supplies, training and considerable compliance costs. Some services and fees, while subsidised, are in place to cover these costs. Free and subsidised care is only available to New Zealand residents, with exceptions in some cases for visitors from countries like the UK and Australia as these countries have reciprocal agreements with New Zealand. Ask our reception team if you think you may be entitled to a funded service for your visit.
