About
NEWA Medical Centre is a modern family and skin health clinic dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality healthcare for our community.
Our experienced team offers comprehensive general practice services alongside specialised skin assessments and treatments, delivered in a welcoming and professional environment.
With staff fluent in English, Mandarin and Korean, we are committed to creating a healthcare experience that is inclusive, personalised, and centred around the wellbeing of every patient.
Our vision is to provide modern healthcare with a personal touch, creating a comfortable and welcoming experience for every patient.

Our Mission
Family and skin health care for the North Shore — delivered in the language you are most comfortable speaking.
Consultations in English, Mandarin and Korean, so no one has to rely on a family member to translate their own health care.
Enrolled patients are matched with a regular GP, so your history does not have to be retold at every visit.
Our fees are published in full on this website. TODO — confirm before launch.

Enrol
Enrolling takes a few minutes and means lower fees, a doctor who knows your history, and access to government-funded care. Our reception team can walk you through it in English, Mandarin or Korean.
Call reception or email us. Tell us which language you would like to be served in.
We will send you the standard New Zealand enrolment form, or you can fill it in at the clinic. Reception will help if anything is unclear.
We verify your eligibility at your first appointment and your enrolment is confirmed on the day.

Full-body skin checks and mole mapping are now available at a dedicated weekly session.
Free for those who qualify, and a set price for everyone else. Walk-in nurse appointments available.

Hi, I'm Denise, the NEWA Medical Centre virtual assistant. I can help with things like opening hours, services, fees, enrolment and repeat prescriptions — but I can't give healthcare advice. In an emergency, call 111.
Answers are general clinic information, not healthcare advice. In an emergency call 111.
