๐Ÿš™ Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
๐Ÿš— Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
๐Ÿš™ Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
๐Ÿš— Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).
๐Ÿš™ Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
๐Ÿš— Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
๐Ÿš™ Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
๐Ÿš— If the vehicle is keyless, โ€˜keysโ€™ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.

Poll: Have you faced any barriers when trying to access primary health care?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Your location can affect how much you pay to see a GP. So, someone on the West Coast might pay around $33, while a person in Wellington might pay closer to $70.

โ” We want to know: Where do you live, and how much do your GP visits cost?

These prices are influenced by underfunding, subsidy caps, and the pressure they put on wages. Read more about how the GP lottery impacts you in Harriet Laughton's piece in The Post.
