How to register at the UC Health Centre - Students
You are not automatically enrolled in the Health Centre - even if you have paid your Student Services Levy. Registration reassigns your government health funding to us from your previous GP and is essential to receive heavily subsidised student healthcare at UC. We strongly suggest you also have a WINZ issued community services card along with your UC student ID card.
