Sign up for minors and people lacking the capacity to manage their own account

There are different processes to sign up if you are a minor, and for those who lack the capacity to manage their own account (see chart below).

Sign up guidelines

Read the guidelines below for each group to determine the sign up process appropriate for you. If you’re over 16 years old you can sign up online at www.waikatodhb.health.nz/smarthealth/register

Group	Process
Under 14 year olds	A parent/legal guardian can set up and manage a SmartHealth account for someone under 14 years old, with the minor informed of this.
14 and 15 year olds	May sign up to SmartHealth on their own, with parental/legal guardian consent. OR Can have a SmartHealth account set up and managed by their parent/legal guardian, with the written consent of the minor, if the minor is competent to provide consent.
16 year olds and older	May sign up to SmartHealth on their own following the required process
18 year olds and older who lack the capacity to set up and manage an account on their own	A parent/legal guardian may set up and manage an account for someone under the age of 16 years who lacks the capacity to set up and manage their own account. Once the minor turns 18 years old, their parent/legal guardian must obtain legal authority to continue managing the account. Someone with legal authority (through a Welfare Guardianship Order, Personal Order or assessed and activated health and welfare Enduring Power of Attorney’s appointment) can set up and manage a SmartHealth account on behalf of a person 18 years and older who lacks the capacity, to set up and manage their own account.
