In this powerful and personal episode of Soft Landing NZ, I open up about our family's real-life experience with New Zealand's healthcare system — from registering with a GP, to managing everyday care for our kids, to navigating a post cancer diagnosis and treatment/survailance screening.
I share what it's really like to use both the public and private healthcare systems in New Zealand, including the differences, costs, waiting times, and what you need to know as a new immigrant.
You'll hear:
How to register with a GP when you first arrive
What ACC cover is
My experience dealing with a serious illness / specilist care
How the system works for families and children
Practical advice to prepare for medical needs in NZ
Whether you're coming from South Africa, India, the Philippines, or UK or any other part of the world, this episode will help you better understand how to prepare yourself and navigate the "new" way of health care for you and your family in New Zealand.
