International Students - Travel & Medical Insurance

International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. Students may purchase Uni-care Travel and Medical Insurance through Lincoln High School prior to leaving their country. This will cost approximately NZ$440.

If you wish to buy your own insurance, read the section on Guidelines for Minimum Cover for Insurance. If you purchase your own insurance, an English translation must be provided before you arrive in New Zealand.

Eligibility for Health Services

Most international students are not entitled to publicly-funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health and can be viewed on their website at www.moh.govt.nz.

Accident Insurance

The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at www.acc.co.nz.

Important

  • Please read the Guidelines for Minimum Cover for Insurance carefully to ensure that your students' policies have adequate Travel and Medical cover.

  • Students may be asked to purchase further cover if their policy is deemed to be insufficient.
