Border Health

We work with agencies responsible for border security, customs, biosecurity, policing and immigration to respond to public health risks at the border.

  • Border health measures and resources

    Border health measures and controls manage public health risks from the international movement of goods, people, ships and aircraft.
  • Border health legislation, policy and planning

    There are a number of different pieces of legislation that define Aotearoa New Zealand's border health measures.

    Aircraft arriving in New Zealand from overseas are subject to health entry requirements to mitigate public health risks.
