When you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village by 28 February 2026, you won't pay your weekly fee until 2028*. And because life at Ryman means no home upkeep, you'll have more time for the things you love.
Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.
People with a 12 month prescription will still collect three months’ supply of medicine at a time, from the pharmacy.
Ask your doctor if 12 month prescriptions are right for you.

Researchers from Victoria University are on the hunt for Waikato properties to set traps as part of a project aimed at keeping the country safe from mosquito-borne diseases coming from across the ditch.
Backed by the Ministry for Primary Industries, the project is targeting high-risk areas—including Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, and Hawke’s Bay—to keep a close eye on mosquito activity.
