Massey University Doctors

The health and medical services at Massey University are available to all students. Distance students can contact any campus clinic to make an appointment. Our dedicated team of medical professionals provide a high standard of care at all times. All students receive competent, compassionate and confidential service.

We encourage all students to enrol at the clinic and register it as their main health care provider. Registered students then pay the subsidised rates for services. Students who choose not to register can still access the services at full rates. Find out how to register with a campus clinic.
