How do I claim for travel assistance?

Your hospital travel coordinator, health or disability specialist or social worker wil need to help you register for travel assistance. They will need to send the completed registration form to the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health will assess and approve your registration for eligibility.
A confirmation letter, along with blank claim forms will be sent to your usual mailing address.
Complete your claim form in full. Make sure to have your claim form signed and stamped by the attending facility/hospital or attach signed and stamped proof of attendance, for example, a hospital letterhead appointment discharge card/letter/note.
Attach original, itemised receipts for public transport and/or accommodation to your claim form.
If this is your first claim, or your bank account details have changed, please attach a printed deposit slip or the top of your bank statement or an account verification from your bank.

All information you provide will be held securely by the Ministry of Health and will be kept confidential except as may be required to disclose by law. You will have the right to access your own information and can request that it be corrected at any time.
