Waitara doctors and medical centre

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Auckland would move to Alert Level 3 at midday 12 August while the rest of NZ would move to Alert Level 2.

While it was not the news any of us were hoping for, it is important to remember health and medical facilities (such as medical practices and pharmacies) are an essential service. 

We remain open during all Alert Levels. However, our practice is now reimplementing some safety measures as part of our response to Alert Level 2.

If you require any medical assistance, you MUST phone our practice. All patients will be screened during their initial phone call to determine their 'next steps'.

DO NOT turn up unannounced. In the interest of safety, we will send you away.

Dial 111 if you need urgent help.

Stay calm. Be kind. Follow instructions.

While we understand these are strange and testing times, please be kind and remain patient as our team works hard to respond to the increased demand on our health care services.

Waitara Health Centre is here to support you, your whānau and our community. However, we will not tolerate aggressive behaviour.

Please also remember that our services do incur a charge and some services (such as Nurse Practitioner/Nurse Prescriber consults) cost more than others (such as Nurse consults). Our Nurse Practitioners/Nurse Prescribers have a broader practice scope, and the price difference reflects this.
