Health and wellbeing

Medical and Travel Insurance
The Ministry of Education’s code of practice for international students requires that they take out a comprehensive insurance cover independent of the school.  The school believes that the Uni-Care Educational Travel Insurance policy offers the widest cover and good value for money and recommends it as the company to provide this compulsory type of insurance cover.  The policy covers a wide range of events including personal effects, travel and fees insurance If a student chooses not to select this insurance option then written proof of cover from an equally comprehensive scheme alternative scheme must be provided at the time fees are paid otherwise the school can not accept the application to attend St Paul’s. On-Line applications are available at the Unicare website: www.unicare.org

Health Services
Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while they are in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your stay, you may be liable for the full costs of the treatment.

Accident Insurance
International students are entitled to accident insurance provided by The Accident Compensation Corporation. However, you may still be liable for other medical and related costs.
