Referral Process
All referrals for people in Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti should go through Te Haika - 0800 745 477, our 24/7 mental health and addiction contact centre.
In the Hutt Valley for both initial and subsequent contact, use the details below between 8am and 4.30 pm Monday to Thursday and 8am to 4pm on Fridays. Outside these times, call Te Haika - 0800 745 477.
People in the Wairarapa can call (06) 946 9805 directly (for both initial and subsequent contact) - after hours it will be automatically redirected to Te Haika.
A referral from your GP is best because it’s important that your doctor is aware and involved in treatment planning and care. GPs are responsible for managing all health services for people (not just mental health) and provide ongoing care for people once they no longer need to use specialist mental health services. However, you can self refer if you prefer not to go through your GP.
