The Good news

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Dr Juliette Leplae will be joining our team on December 2nd, 2024. And that’s not all—come mid-January 2025, we’ll also welcome a fantastic Physician Associate to our ranks. With these stellar additions, we’ll be able to see you five days a week and slash those appointment waiting times. Thank you for hanging in there with us—great things are ahead!

Temporary Wednesday Closure Ends 6th January

Due to a temporary staffing shortage West End Medical Centre will be CLOSED on Wednesdays. We will be reopening 5 days per week from the 6th January.

During regular business hours (8am to 5pm) on a Wednesday, our regular after-hours phone service will address medical needs. This service is managed by highly qualified emergency department  nurses.

For medical advice, please call 09 438 9050.

In case of a medical emergency, dial 111.

Revised Co-payment Fee Structure

 Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand) has implemented a new co-payment fee structure for Very Low Cost Access (VLCA) practices.

Commencing on the 5th of August 2024, only individuals possessing a Community Services Card will be subject to a consultation co-payment fee of $19.50.

Patients without a Community Services Card will incur a fee of $29.50 for a standard consultation and $65 for a long consultation.

Please be kind to our staff

West End Medical Centre is currently facing delays for non-emergency appointments of 4 to 6 weeks due to decreased doctor availability. For urgent medical issues, call before 8:45 am to join the triage list for a phone assessment between 9:00 and 9:30 am. Depending on the situation, treatment could be by phone, a same-day appointment, or referral to a hospital or community service. Please note if you miss our call, we will not call back due to starting clinical appointments post-9:30 am.
