The Student Health Service is a purpose-built facility which is able to provide full medical services. We provide a general practice service for students enrolled at University of Waikato.

New Zealand students are encouraged to enrol with the Student Health Service. If you would like to enrol visit our website to fill out the appropriate form.

Our staff have had plenty of experience with students and are happy to discuss any health concerns that you may have. These include sickness, injury, health maintenance, vaccination, contraception, cervical smears and STD checks. We also provide FAST STI self check testing.
