Paediatric Outpatient Clinics - Waitakere, North Shore and Community

  • In the Paediatric (Child Health) outpatient clinics, we offer care for children and young people up to 15 years old provided by the specialist doctor for children (Paediatrician) or nurse specialist. 
  • To be referred to clinic, a child must see their General Practitioner (GP) for a review. Your GP may refer them to the children’s health (Paediatric) service for advice or a clinic visit.
  • Children are offered appointments based on when we receive the referral and how urgent the issue is, according to the information given by your general practitioner (GP).
  • The clinics visits are usually in person (face to face). Some appointments can be done by telehealth (Zoom or phone call), which can save you time and travel.
  • If you are concerned that your child needs a more urgent appointment, please see your general practitioner GP, who can review the condition and notify us if needed.
  • If you need to change or cancel your appointment, please call our booking team on 09 837 8870.
