Specialists
We offer some specialist services, and will refer you to external specialists as needed. Some types of healthcare specialists don't require a referral from us.
You will need a referral from a general practice doctor before you can book an appointment to see our internal specialists.
If you have been referred to see a specialist, you need to book the appointment yourself as we're unable to do it for you.
You will also need a referral before you can make an appointment for some specialists that are not based at Student Health, for example, to get an X-ray.
Specialists outside Student Health
Our doctors will refer you as needed to external specialist services such as radiology and psychiatry. You can make your own arrangements to see a dentist, optometrist, or physiotherapist—we don't offer these services and you don't need a referral from a doctor.
Radiologist
Your doctor will refer you to a radiology provider if they think you need an X-ray, ultrasound, or other scan.
Physiotherapist
We don't offer a physiotherapy service, and you don't need a referral to make your own appointment with a physiotherapist. The Physio Spot runs student clinics on our Kelburn campus, as well as at their other locations in Wellington. You can make an appointment via the their website or call them on 0800 842 749. You don't need to be enrolled at Mauri Ora to book an appointment.
Optometrist
We don't offer an optometry service, and you don't need a referral to make your own appointment with an optometrist. Victoria University of Wellington students receive discounted rates at Specsavers and Matthews Eyewear.
Dentist
We don't offer a dentistry service, and you don't need a referral to make your own appointment with a dentist. You can receive discounted rates at Wellington Dentists.
