If you are not eligible for publicly funded healthcare in New Zealand, you can still access safe, private abortion care. The Women’s Health Hub provides self-funded abortion services for people on visitor, student, and work visas, as well as overseas visitors.
Our fees for early medical abortion are significantly lower than many other private providers, making care more accessible for non-residents who must self-fund treatment.
People who are not New Zealand residents are generally required to pay privately for abortion care. At The Women’s Health Hub, we offer transparent pricing and clear guidance so you know what to expect from the outset.
Early medical abortion uses prescribed medication to end a pregnancy in its early stages. This option does not involve surgery and is commonly chosen for its privacy, safety, and ability to be managed at home with medical oversight.
Medical abortion involves two medications.
Mifepristone is taken first to block progesterone and prepare the uterus. This is followed around 36 hours later by misoprostol, which causes uterine contractions and bleeding so the pregnancy tissue can pass.
In most cases, the medication can be taken at home. We provide clear instructions and ongoing support so you feel informed and reassured throughout the process.
Telehealth consultations may be available depending on your circumstances and location within New Zealand.
Follow-up care is an important part of treatment. Blood tests are commonly arranged to confirm the abortion is complete, and an ultrasound may be recommended in some situations.
Our team remains available to answer questions and provide guidance.
Abortion services are available to people in New Zealand on a range of temporary visas. This includes those on visitor, student, and work visas.

Because non-residents are not eligible for public funding, abortion care is self-funded. We aim to keep fees clear and affordable, and we will explain all costs before treatment begins.
If you are concerned about pricing or timing, we encourage you to contact us as early as possible so we can discuss your options.
Side effects are most commonly linked to misoprostol and vary between individuals.

These effects are expected and usually settle within a few days. In a small number of cases, further treatment may be required. If this happens, we will discuss the next steps clearly and support you through the process.
