You can pursue non-clinical healthcare roles in New Zealand with a BCom background, especially in areas like healthcare management, administration, or policy. Direct entry into clinical programs is usually reserved for those with science or health-related degrees.

Your eligibility for healthcare master's programs may depend on:
- Relevant work experience in healthcare or related sectors
- Strong academic record in your BCom
- Additional qualifications (like certifications in health management) can further boost your profile

If you have experience or can gain it in healthcare administration or related fields, your chances improve.
