How much does is cost to see the Health Connections team?
Health care in New Zealand/Aotearoa is not free to everyone and we know that having to pay can stop young people coming to see us.
Health Connections services are free to young people who are enrolled with us. We ask for co-payments from key agencies to make sure we can provide free health services. This is what the co-payments cost.
If the young person is NOT signed up with Health Connections, this is how much your visits cost::
Under 13 Years
$50.00
14 years – 18 years
$50.00
19 years – 25 years
$50.00
We do ask that if the young person can pay they donate to our Give A Little page. The money donated is used to make sure we stay free to young people.
