Covid funding is being cut further by Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand from 13th Feb 2023.

• Most patients will need to pay the usual copayment to consult with a doctor for all respiratory illnesses including covid-19.

• Some patients will still be able to have a funded free visit.

• The funding criteria is complicated and depends on a lot of factors, we would advise if you qualify after your consultation.

•  If possible, please perform a home RAT test before your appointment if you have acute respiratory symptoms. 

​

We offer in person and telephone consultations.

If you are coming to the clinic and you have cold or flu symptoms, please wait in your car or outside at the front porch and phone us upon arrival.

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered via H365 or by phoning.

Online appointment bookings via our patient portal Health365 are now enabled.
