Influenza A is driving exceptional demand across the health system. Emergency departments are over capacity in many regions, and our Medical Centres are also very busy.

Key messages if you are unwell
* Stay home if you are unwell; rest and keep your fluids up; practice good hand hygiene; cover coughs and sneezes.
* It is not too late to vaccinate - this season’s vaccine is a good match for the circulating strains.

If your illness is non-urgent.
Phone us and we can get the right option for you; speak with a pharmacist at a pharmacy; attend an urgent care clinic or phone Healthline 24/7 on 0800 611 116.

✨Mānawatia a Matariki ✨
As we come together to celebrate Matariki, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect, reconnect, and enjoy time with the people who matter most.

Please note that our medical centres will be closed on Friday 10th July, for the Matariki public holiday.

To help you enjoy the long weekend with peace of mind, please ensure you have enough of your regular medications beforehand.

If you require urgent medical assistance, please call 111. For non-emergency care while we're closed, our after-hours services will be available and details are on our websites.

From our South Link Health whānau to yours, we wish you a safe, restful, and meaningful Matariki.

03/07/2026

Next Friday, 10th July, our General Practices across Aotearoa will be closed to observe Matariki.

As the Matariki star cluster rises in our winter skies, it marks a time of transition - a time to reflect on the year that has passed, honour our connections to the land, and gather over kai with those we love.

Please ensure you are prepared for the long weekend with your medications, phone 111 in a medical emergency or check our websites for After Hours information.
