General practitioner appointments

We encourage all patients to register with a specific doctor who will be their primary provider, supporting continuity and a trusted relationship in your healthcare journey.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm. Each appointment is 15 minutes long, with 12 patients seen per session, with dedicated time set aside for paperwork and clinical review to ensure quality care.

Supporting Future GPs
Across our four practices, we host 2–4 General Practice Education Programme (GPEP) doctors at any one time across our four practices. This is how doctors who trained in New Zealand study to become a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. This study also awards them vocational registration in the scope of general practice from the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ).

Urgent care

Located at our Westown practice at 99 Tukapa Street, the Carefirst Group Urgent Care Clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5:00pm.
