In 2018, PrEP became a publicly-funded medicine in New Zealand. This means that anyone eligible for funded healthcare may be able to get a 3 month supply of PrEP for up to $5.

However, not everyone in New Zealand is eligible for funded healthcare - and not everyone who is eligible for funded healthcare will be eligible for PrEP.

Eligibility can be a little confusing, so we’ve created an easy tool to find out if you're eligible for funded PrEP. Remember, if you are not eligible there are still other ways you can access PrEP.

Please note that the results of this page are a good indication of your eligibility, but they’re not final – you’ll need to have a discussion with your prescribing doctor.
