    You will be eligible for publicly funded maternity services as your partner is a NZer. http://www.health.govt.nz/new-zealan...nancy-services

    I'm quite confused if i get the free maternity services or not. Will i still be eligible even if INZ will only be granting me a 1 year work visa?

    YES YOU GET IT. Read the link I sent. It is very clear. It doesn't matter what YOUR visa is - it is for the new Kiwi baby's health.

    Btw, i wonder how does it work? Do we need to apply for that or we will just show the evidence that my partner is NZEr in our clinic of choice? Quiet confused

    Thanks

    Congratulations!

    Go to the medical center closest to you and check with them what the requirements are. They should be able to explain what you need to do.

    Good luck!
