Eligibility for Publicly Funded Health and Disability ServicesRefugees and Applicant Refugees People with refugee status in New Zealand are eligible for publicly funded health and disability health services. You will need to show proof of your refugee status, for example, an approval letter from the New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS) confirming your refugee status (see sample letter in the Resources section), a residence permit or work permit for two or more years. People who are in the process of having an application for refugee status determined by the NZIS or are in the process of having an appeal heard by the Refugee Status Appeal Authority are also eligible, but will need to show proof of an application (eg, an acknowledgement letter from the Auckland Refugee Status Branch of NZIS). However, if this letter is more than six months old, provide a more recent letter from NZIS confirming that your application is still in progress. View disclaimer
