Register as a POAC Infusion Provider
This form allows your Auckland region organisation to register as an approved provider for the following POAC-funded infusion services, enabling you to receive referrals from external clinicians (midwives/LMCs, hospital teams, GP clinics):
- Ferinject Iron Infusion
- Zoledronate Infusion
Note: You do not need to register as an infusion centre to provide these services to your own existing patients. This registration specifically sets your clinic up to accept referred patients from other providers.
By submitting this form, your organisation agrees to the following POAC terms and conditions:
- Accept referrals in line with the eligibility criteria for each funded service (see links below)
- Contact the referred patient promptly to liaise directly with them and schedule the infusion within the clinically required timeframe
- For Ferinject and Zoledronate referrals, arrange for the patient's Special Authority application and prescription to be completed by the clinic prior to the infusion being delivered
- Notify POAC without delay if your clinic is unable to deliver the infusion within the required timeframe, so alternative arrangements can be made for the patient
- Confirm your clinic has suitably trained and qualified clinical staff, and appropriate facilities and equipment, to deliver the infusion safely and in line with current New Zealand health and safety requirements
