Covid-19 testing

GP practice - enrolled and casual patients

We provide COVID 19 testing (PCR and Supervised RAT) 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.  

For patients without symptoms we provide PCR and Supervised RAT's for travel or employment etc.  This is a charged service.  Please contact us to make an appointment.

Testing for International 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 (if any) at the same time.  We then follow up with you as soon as we receive your results.

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

  • PCR testing for travel or employment:
    • Registered patients - $200
    • Casual patients - $240
  • Supervised RAT for travel or employment:
    • For international travel (Registered or Casual patients) - $50
    • For domestic travel (Registered or Casual patients) - free

Assisted RATs for priority populations

Priority populations are groups that have experienced adverse impacts or are considered at higher risk of the effects from COVID-19 outbreaks in New Zealand. They include Māori and Pacific communities and those living with disabilities.
