Note: Counselling is not a drop-in service on any of our campuses.

At UHCS we believe that every person in Aotearoa New Zealand is entitled to safe, competent, and respectful care. To enable us to provide this and keep everyone safe we will be asking about your vaccination status. We just need to know this so we can ensure we provide everyone with safe treatment options to protect you and our team.

Please don’t be offended by the question and be assured it will not impact on the care you receive from our team.
