Urgent Care

As well as being an Albany based GP family medical clinic, we have a fully accredited Urgent Care facility where our clinicians are ready to manage acute sickness, accidents and injuries.  This is available 12 hours a day 7 days a week with no appointment necessary.

We have a fully equipped urgent treatment area from which we can arrange rapid ambulance transport to hospital if required.

If you sustain a fracture we can Xray on site, apply a plaster cast and arrange follow-up at our specialist fracture clinics.

Wheelchairs are available for use on site should you require one.  Crutches are available for hire if advised by the doctor.

The NZ Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides no-fault personal injury cover for all New Zealand residents and visitors. This insurance cover is comprehensive but does not meet the full costs of primary injury management so an ACC surcharge applies. For further information, please click here and refer to the question about ACC surcharge.

Please note that for children under 13 years of age the Urgent Care service will now attract a small fee after 5pm weekdays and all weekends and public holidays.  To access general practice consultations for children, please book into our Childrens Clinic or an appointment with their regular GP.  Click here for further information.
