Description

Welcome to White Cross New Brighton!
(previously known as New Brighton Health Care).

We are an appointment-only General Practice clinic, looking after an enrolled patient base.

Although we don’t see casual patients, you’re welcome to enrol with us. Same day GP appointments are usually available.

We’ve been caring for our community for more than 45 years, and we’re proud to still be here for you and your whānau, now as White Cross New Brighton.

Many of you have been with us for generations, and we’re truly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us over the years.

Our care goes beyond treating today’s symptoms. With a focus on holistic wellness and prevention, we’re here to help shape better health for tomorrow.

You’ll find a friendly and dedicated team of GPs, nurses, a nurse practitioner, and support staff ready to listen, support, and guide you through whatever health challenges life brings. From everyday check-ups to managing long-term conditions, our goal is to make sure you always feel cared for and understood.

We’re also well connected with local pharmacies, physios, and labs, making it easier for you to get the extra care and support you need, right here in the community.

As part of White Cross, a well-established nationwide network, you'll also benefit from access to industry-leading healthcare innovations and enhanced care, including:

  • Increased access to healthcare, with 24/7 online GP care through Bettr.co.nz: if you’re unable to be seen at the clinic when you need care, you can also access Bettr, our 24/7 online GP service. Bettr often has same-day appointments available, with consultations priced at $45 for enrolled adults, $25 with a Community Services Card (CSC), and free for enrolled patients under 14 years. With Bettr available around the clock at bettr.co.nz, you’re never far from the care you need.
  • Seamless, connected care – if you choose to see us using Bettr online care, with your agreement, the clinical staff may access your health record to enable continuity of care and a personalised experience.
  • Improved convenience – our online patient portal allows you to book appointments, request repeat scripts, check your lab results, view your health and immunisation records – all from the comfort of your home, work or wherever. Signing up is quick and easy, just click here.
  • More affordable urgent care right across New Zealand – when you travel, you can now visit any White Cross Urgent Care clinic nationwide, and you'll only pay the enrolled patient price for your consult - a saving of up to $50 per visit.
