Did not attend fees
Please help us to keep this clinic affordable and available by not wasting appointments. TXT message reminders are sent to patients the afternoon prior to scheduled appointments (we are unable to send TXT reminders for appointments placed earlier the same day). Patients who fail to keep an appointment without advising the Health Centre are likely to incur a Did not attend fee. More information about appointments and charges

Flu vaccinations available now
The UCSA, in conjunction with the Health Centre, are offering a subsidised flu vaccination to UC students. Students pay the Health Centre $5 instead of $15. Only 500 vouchers are available so be in quick. Contact the UCSA for a voucher and then present it at the Health Centre to receive your subsidy. We recommend getting the vaccine as soon as possible as it takes two weeks to develop immunity.

Enrol at the Health Centre
Being enrolled at the University of Canterbury does not automatically enrol you at the health centre - even though you have paid your health centre levy.

Meningitis/meningococcal vaccinations
We recommend and offer vaccination. Tertiary students, particularly if living in halls, are at increased risk.
