Funding Changes as from 1 July 2019
- Free consultations for all children 13 years and under, who are registered as patients at our medical practice.
- Registered Patients who have a Community Services Card (CSC) now pay reduced fees as follows:
Adults aged 18 and over: $19.000 for a 15 minute consultation.
Eligible youth (aged 14-17): $13.00.
Are you a Community Services Card holder?
Please ensure we have your current CSC details to be eligible for these reduced fees. For more information regarding eligibility for a Community Services Card check out the Ministry of Social Development website:https://www.workandincome.govt.nz/products/a-z-benefits/community-services-card.html
Increased availability of GP Appointments
In response to patient demand we have made extra GP appointments available at the end of the day. Our hope is that more people can be seen on the same day they ring for an appointment.
If you cannot get a time-slot on the day, you may request to be notified if an appointment comes available later in the day, due to a cancellation.
