Get In Touch

I am currently working above capacity owing to the overwhelming list of people to be seen. 

Due to the huge demand and pressure for appointments, please see your GP for a referral. Your GP should provide the child’s full name, DOB, address, phone number, NHI, reason for being seen or presenting complaint with a GP assessment (the latter to help with triage) and any supporting information. All of that detail is needed to make an electronic file. If the referral is accepted, then you will be contacted about an appointment.

In Christchurch, please ask your GP to send to Children’s Specialist Centre (CSC) via ERMs or to reception@childhealth.co.nz.

For Dunedin and Central Otago clinics, please ask your GP to send the referral to Suite 22 Mercy Hospital via ERMs or suite22@mercyhospital.org.nz.

You can provide added information for the referral such as assessments and letters that will be added to your child’s file for my review prior to your clinic appointment.

The referral will be processed by the team at either Children’s Specialist Centre in Christchurch or Suite 22 Mercy Hospital in Dunedin. Please allow some time for the referral to be reviewed, if you wish to ask about the waiting times 03 377 7470 for CSC, 03 467 6605 for Suite 22.

Please accept we are all working as hard as possible with short staffing. I apologise for the waiting times; I do understand it is stressful when you need to wait for your child to be seen. 

Thank you for your understanding.
