Border health surveillance and resources

Border health measures and controls

We use different health measures to stop infectious diseases and other public health risks from entering or spreading in New Zealand.

Border health training videos

Short videos and quizzes about practical measures at the border to minimise health risks.

Managing pests at the border

The pests we focus on, and the key measures we use to manage the risk.

Health advice cards

Health advice cards are available in English at international airports. These tell travellers what to do if they get sick within a month of arriving. The cards are available in 26 languages. We may hand these out if there is a health emergency at the border.

Contact border health if you would like health cards in different languages.
