Extended hours, every day of the year

Health Nexus is open from 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday, on Saturdays and Sundays, and on public holidays, so you can see a GP after work, after school or at the weekend without waiting for Monday. We are open on every public holiday, including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, on our standard hours for that day.

As a general practice, we offer ongoing care as well as urgent care: you can see the same GP for routine and urgent problems, your records stay in one place, and follow-up, results and referrals are handled by the team who saw you.
