ELIGIBILITY:

You may claim for this service payment if you:
  • Are a New Zealand citizen, or are ordinarily resident in New Zealand; and
  • Have a medical condition that has caused you to lose your hair (like treatment for cancer, alopecia or other scalp conditions that cause hair loss).

How to make a Wig & Hairpiece subsidy claim.

Your GP or medical specialist will inform you about the service payment and issue you with a medical certificate. All you will then need to do is go to a wig supplier and choose the right wig or hairpiece for you. Once you have chosen your wig, hairpiece or other item you may either request the supplier to make a claim to Sector Operations on your behalf or make a claim yourself.
