Description

We are a low fees practice supported by Te Whatu Ora and the WellSouth PHO for the purposes of providing high quality healthcare while reducing financial barriers and wait times.

Currently only community services card holders are eliglible for low fees ($15 for a GP consult).

Te Whatu Ora approved our VLCA status on 21/3/2024. We are now working with WellSouth to finalise arrangements. Soon all patients will be eligible for low fees but Māori, Pacific Islanders, those living in low socioeconomic areas and community service card holders will be prioritised.
