Funding options
We are registered ACC providers for both physical and mental injury claims with no cost to the client. ACC provides funding for therapy related to sexual trauma that occurred in New Zealand through the Integrated Services for Sensitive Claims pathway: https://www.acc.co.nz/im-injured/types-of-ongoing-support/counselling-therapy/
Some clients may meet criteria for partial funding for therapy via WINZ: https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/products/a-z-benefits/disability-allowance.html
If you have private health insurance this may provide full or partial funding depending on your cover. Please check with your insurance company prior to seeking therapy if you are reliant on this funding.
Urgent Needs
Aura Health do not offer an emergency service. This means that we cannot respond to risk issues immediately and do not have capacity to manage emergency situations. If you need immediate support, please call 111 or the mental health crisis resolution team on: 0800 920 092. For further resources please visit the Mental Health
