Muritai Health Centre

Welcome to our practice

Muritai Health Centre provides affordable general practice family healthcare. We offer a range of services provided by our team of Doctors and Registered Nurses.

We recently sold our practice to Green Cross Health, who took over in July 2021. We will continue to provide the best service and care that we can. Next time you visit you’ll notice things don’t look very different and all the current staff are staying on. We look forward to continuing to care for our community.

Enrolments are currently closed due to limited staff capacity. We will accept enrolments again as soon as we can. Thanks for your understanding.

Need virtual after-hours care? We are partnered with Practice Plus - offering same day virtual after-hours GP appointments to suit you.

Most testing is now done via Rapid Antigen Testing (RATs) with results available within 30mins. You will need to self-report your result via My COVID Record or by calling 0800 222 478 and pressing option 3. The majority of positive cases will be able to self-manage and required to follow current isolation rules.
