As a head and neck cancer patient you have a number of support resources available to help you.
You will need to be a New Zealand citizen or a permanent resident to access this support.
If you are eligible for travel assistance, you may be able to claim for kilometers traveled by private car, public transport, accommodation, and specialised transport (such as taxis, mobility taxis, or air travel).
If you have a hearing loss, hearing aids may be part of the solution to improve your hearing. You may be able to get help from the Ministry of Health to pay for the cost of hearing aids.
