Description

Community testing for COVID-19 is not available at Hospital Emergency Departments.

Click here for a list of Community Testing Centres.

The Emergency Department at Middlemore Hospital is for life-threatening emergencies.  Call 111 in an emergency, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Your family doctor is the first place you should go for help.  They will provide you with medical advice, prescriptions and help you to manage any long-term conditions.  If you do not have a family doctor you can find one on Healthpoint.

The Emergency Department has specialised areas for resuscitation and monitoring. There are 27 adult assessment rooms, two adult procedure rooms, a dedicated plastering room and an ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) room.  There are also 24 beds in the adult short stay area for patients with an 'expected' discharge period within 24 hours from arrival that are utilised by all teams providing acute care.

The Emergency Department has a separate area for paediatric services (Kidz First Emergency Care).  This includes two resuscitation rooms, 14 acute assessment rooms and a procedure room.  There are also 13 beds in the paediatric short stay area.

Accident and Medical clinics in the Counties region also provide after-hours care.  Lower after-hours charges apply 6pm - 8am weekdays, all weekend and every public holiday. Scroll down to view details for alternative Accident and Medical clinics in the Auckland Region.

Referral Expectations

Approximately 1/3 of the patients seen in Emergency Care are referred by a primary healthcare practitioner directly to an inpatient team. The remaining 2/3 of the patients self-present to Emergency Care. 

Visiting Hours

As New Zealand has moved into the new COVID-19 Protection Framework, commonly known as the ‘traffic light’ system our visiting policies have changed to reflect this. Please visit Counties Manukau Health website.

Face masks must still be worn when visiting any CM Health facilities. Please use the NZ COVID Tracer app to scan our QR code each time you visit our hospital and clinics.

If unwell, get a COVID-19 test and stay home. If you have any questions call Healthline on 0800 611 116.

  • Patients may be allowed one support person in the department to assist with diagnosis and treatment.
  • Once disposition in ED has been decided no visitor policy applies including ward and short-stay areas. Visits only for exceptional needs.
