The zero fee visits scheme for medical concerns has been extended to children under 14 years.
Here at Shorecare, we receive this funding when your GP is closed.
This means that after 5pm on weekdays, and all weekend long, visits for children under 14 years are FREE.
For injury related issues, funding has also been increased to extend the zero fee ACC visits scheme to children under 14 years, and lowering the cost of ACC visits for Community Service Card (CSC) holders.
What this means for you is that at all times, visits to Shorecare for an injury is FREE for under 14 year olds, $18.50 for CSC holders, and $12.50 for their dependants .
For more information on these changes, follow the link below.

Every Christmas, we somehow manage to spend more on gifts than we planned and buy more food than we could ever eat. Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go … View moreEvery Christmas, we somehow manage to spend more on gifts than we planned and buy more food than we could ever eat. Inevitably, this creates a lot of waste. Which is why this year, we’re focusing on turning Christmas waste into Christmas joy. After all, there’s more than enough Christmas to go around.
Join us in our goal of giving every Aucklander a Merry Christmas and donate what you save.
