The Health and Counselling Centre provides a comprehensive range of professional and confidential health and counselling services for Massey University students and staff.

Our surgery is located on the main campus in the new Student Amenities Centre.

Appointment Times

  • Medical appointments are normally at 15 minute intervals. If you think you will require more time than this e.g. more than one problem, please advise the receptionist. Longer appointments will usually incur an extra fee.
  • On your first visit to the Health & Counselling Centre, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment. This allows you enough time to complete our health information form.
  • Counselling appointments are usually up to 60 minutes.
  • We make every effort to run to time but on occasions unexpected emergencies or a consultation running over time may cause delays.

Urgent matters and emergencies are dealt with at any time.

We will always see you 'today' if you indicate this is necessary. The receptionists are limited in how much they can ask you in the public reception area, so please help the receptionists to help you by giving them an indication of how urgent your need is. If the doctor is fully booked, you will be offered a consultation with the nurse and you may be asked to return at another time.
