General Practice in New Zealand


Services

New Zealand GPs provide community-based primary health care.

Day-to-day work as a Pegasus Health GP includes first contact, diagnosis, management, continuity of care, health promotion, prevention and screening. GPs act as gatekeepers to public secondary and tertiary services, as well as many private specialists.

Round-the-clock cover is provided to after hours patients through the Pegasus 24 Hour Surgery – a well-resourced acute care facility staffed by a permanent team of doctors and nurses mixed with a roster of local GPs.

Fees

General practice in New Zealand is a private business with basic consultations and some other services partly subsidised by the government.

  General Practice in New Zealand

Patients usually pay a contribution to see a GP.

Patients in New Zealand are encouraged to enrol with a general practitioner and to see the same GP each time they visit, if possible.
