Community Services Card

Approximately 80% of students are entitled to a Community Services Card. Qualification criteria depend upon your income, marital status, number of dependents (if any) and whether you are a New Zealand citizen or resident. International students do not qualify for a card.

Having a current Community Services Card will save you money:

• For urgent after hour’s consultation with City Doctors in Victoria Avenue, a Community Services Card will reduce your cost of consultation.
• Any consultation with a doctor outside of this practice will be cheaper if you have a current Community Services Card.
• Any medication prescribed by a doctor outside of the Massey University Student Health & Counselling Service will attract higher prescription charges per item for those without a card.

We urge you to apply now for a Community Services Card, application forms are available from your local WINZ office or you can download a copy of the Community Services Card application form by going to:
