Grants
HFNZ offers grants to provide members with specified products and services, subject to HFNZ policy.
These include:
- Swimming/Exercise
- Supportive Footwear
- Defensive Driving
Access to all HFNZ grants shall be on the basis of clinical need, supported by a clinical diagnosis of a bleeding disorder that would normally predispose the member to joint and muscle problems. Bleeding disorders that meet these criteria are:
- Severe factor VIII or IX deficiency
- Moderate Factor VIII or IX deficiency
- von Willebrand Disorder type 3
The Swimming/Exercise and Supportive Footwear grant is also available to members with other related bleeding disorders when supported by a letter from their clinician, physiotherapist, or haemophilia nurse stating that there is a clinical need related to their bleeding disorder.
The Defensive Driving Programme is available to all HFNZ members with a bleeding disorder regardless of clinical severity, and to the primary care-givers of children with a bleeding disorder regardless of clinical severity of the child’s bleeding disorder.
