Welcome to Maraenui Medical Centre
Unfortunately, we are unable to take on new patients at this time. We hope to have the capacity to do so in the coming months, so keep an eye on our website or Facebook page for updates.
Booking an appointment
To book an appointment, please phone our receptionists on 06 843 8010. Our lines are open from 8am to 5pm on weekdays.
Alternatively, you can book an appointment using the patient portal. More information here.
Feeling unwell and need urgent care?
We operate a triage system to support registered patients who require urgent medical attention. Please do not come to the medical centre without an appointment.
Instead, call our reception team to be added to the phone triage list. A doctor will then contact you to discuss your symptoms and decide the most appropriate next steps. This may include a prescription or medical certificate over the phone, or an urgent same-day appointment if needed.

Healthline - for 24/7 advice when unwell
If you are experiencing a medical emergency such as chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, or unconsciousness, please dial 111 immediately.

Prescription Changes in 2026
You may now be eligible for a 12-month prescription for some or all of your medications. Please discuss this with your GP at your next repeat prescription appointment to see whether this is appropriate for you.
From 2026, all repeat prescriptions will require a minimum 48-hour (two working day) turnaround. This means you must request your prescription at least two working days before you need it. This allows your own GP to safely review and complete your prescription, including when doctors are away or not working every day.
If your prescription is urgent, please phone reception and explain your situation. We will make an exception where possible.
Please note that medication changes and prescription reviews cannot be arranged over the phone or added on at the end of a standard 15-minute appointment. An appointment with your GP is required to discuss any changes safely and thoroughly.
