Open today 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

GP practice - enrolled and casual patients

We provide COVID 19 testing for enrolled and casual patients free of charge.  For patients with symptoms we test Monday to Friday (when open) by appointment only.  Please call the practice.  You will be phone triaged by a doctor and given an appointment time - usually on the same day.  Occasionally we provide drop in clinics if demand for testing is high.  Please see our Facebook page for up to date details of these drop in testing times.

For patients without symptoms we provide community drop in clinics when requested by the Ministry of Health for surveillance purposes (free of charge) See our Facebook page for information on these clinics or call the practice.

We can also provide COVID tests if required for travel, employment etc.  This is a charged service.  Please contact us to make an appointment.

Testing for Travel

We provide pre-departure testing for people who are travelling. We take a 'one-stop' approach where you can be tested and pay for your lab fees at the same time.  We then follow up with your results as soon as we receive them.

Please call to book an appointment.  We can usually provide an appointment the next working day.
