HEALTH AND TRAVEL INSURANCE Most students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand unless they are: �� A resident or citizen of Australia; or �� A national of the United Kingdom in New Zealand; or If you do not belong to one of these special categories and you receive medical treatment during your visit, you will be liable for the full costs of that treatment. All students studying with student visas must have insurance that will cover the cost of medical treatment in New Zealand for the duration of your stay in New Zealand. We also strongly recommend that you obtain insurance to cover your travel to and from New Zealand. FEE PROTECTION NZQA registered Education Providers in New Zealand are required, as part of the NZQA conditions and the Code of Practice published by the Minister of Education, to have a fee protection policy in place to safeguard fees paid by students in the unlikely event of: the financial default of the Education Provider (school) or loss of NZQA accreditation of the Education Provider (school) Sheffield School therefore requires ALL students to ensure that they have adequate insurance - which includes medical and travel. We can arrange your insurance cover for you through a New Zealand company experienced in student care. The insurance offered combines medical and travel at a reasonable rate.
