Contact us

How the Wairarapa After Hours service works:

Please call first on 06 370 0011 and speak to our friendly staff. You will then be given an approximate time to attend. By calling first you will be advised the best time to attend the service which can help reduce the time you need to spend in the waiting room. Phone consults can be offered in some circumstances. Please be aware that as this is an urgent care service, patients are seen in order of urgency (relative to symptoms) rather than order of arrival. Wait times can vary depending on demand and urgency of symptoms.

Please note:

• This service is not funded, so there is a fee charged for seeking advice as well as for appointments. (See below on where to access free health advice)
• There is no charge for a triage phone call that results in you then coming in to see the doctor. 
• If you feel you have been charged incorrectly, please contact us as soon as possible.
