First-screen patient routing

What should you do first for Devon Medical Centre?

Most people searching for a GP clinic need a clear next step, not a long directory paragraph. Start with the route below before scrolling through the detailed patient guide.

Severe or life-threatening symptoms

Call 111. Do not wait for MyIndici, email, repeat prescription processing, routine appointment availability or after-hours webpages.

Need same-day GP help

Phone 06 759 1888. The clinic says same-day appointments are for true same-day need and are managed through phone triage.

Clinic closed or after-hours concern

Use MediCross, Practice Plus, Healthline or 111 depending on whether you need in-person urgent care, virtual care, advice or emergency help.

Routine appointment or repeat script

Use MyIndici if registered, or phone reception. Plan repeat prescriptions early because standard requests are completed in two business days.

Quick answer

Devon Medical Centre quick answer for New Plymouth patients

Devon Medical Centre is a general practice at 283 Devon Street West, New Plymouth 4310. The official website lists phone 06 759 1888, fax 06 759 7413, email admin@devonmedical.co.nz, and Healthlink EDI dvonmnpl.

The official home page lists opening hours as 8:00am–5:30pm Monday to Friday, while the location page says usual surgery hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am–5:30pm.

Devon Medical Centre uses MyIndici for online services. The patient portal page says patients can access medical records, view medical conditions, lab results, immunisations, allergies and prescriptions, update personal details, make routine GP appointments, order prescriptions and message their GP. Fees may apply for prescription and messaging services.

Booking correctly

How to book the right Devon Medical Centre appointment

Devon Medical Centre’s appointment page says the clinic offers face-to-face appointments and virtual phone appointments. It says phone consultations are available for patients who feel their issue can be addressed over the phone without an examination. Patients registered with MyIndici can book routine appointments online, and patients who are not registered should phone the clinic.

For same-day need, the practice information page says urgent care is managed by phone triaging patients who request an urgent same-day appointment. It says same-day appointments are reserved for those with a true same-day need. If you need a same-day appointment, call Devon Medical on 06 759 1888 and either speak to an admin member or leave a message asking for an urgent appointment.

Decide whether this is emergency, same-day or routine

Call 111 for emergencies. Phone the clinic for true same-day concerns. Use MyIndici for routine booking if you are registered and the appointment type is clear.

Use phone for unclear or urgent issues

Phone when symptoms are worsening, medicine has changed, you need urgent assessment, you are unsure whether a phone consult is suitable, or you need a special medical.

Tell reception if extra time is needed

The practice information page says special appointments such as driver’s licence, company or insurance medicals need extra time. Do not book these as ordinary quick visits.

Use phone consultations only when suitable

A phone appointment may suit some discussions, but examination, procedures, urgent physical assessment, immigration medicals or special medicals may need face-to-face care.

Prepare before the appointment

Bring medicine names, allergies, recent letters, test information, forms, passport if immigration medical, Community Services Card if relevant, and a short priority list.

Repeat prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions, urgent requests and 12-month prescription changes

Devon Medical Centre’s repeat prescription page says repeat prescriptions may be requested without an appointment if the doctor feels it is appropriate. It says the general rule for most routine medications is that patients need to visit their doctor or the prescribing clinical pharmacist every six months.

The clinic says repeat prescription requests are completed in two business days, and additional fees apply for urgent requests. It also says there is a charge for repeat prescriptions, except for children under 14 years of age.

Prescription requests can be made through MyIndici, by email to admin@devonmedical.co.nz, by telephone, or by handing written requests to reception. For stable repeat medicine, MyIndici is often the cleaner route. For urgent timing, new symptoms, medicine changes or monitoring concerns, phone first.

Use a repeat prescription route when

  • The medicine is stable and has previously been approved for repeats.
  • You can wait the standard two business days.
  • You know the medicine name, dose and pharmacy or collection preference.
  • You are not due for GP or prescribing pharmacist review.
  • You are registered for MyIndici or can request through a clinic-approved route.

Phone or book review when

  • The medicine is new, changed or causing symptoms.
  • You may need blood tests, blood pressure checks or medication monitoring.
  • You have run out or need urgent processing.
  • You have not seen the doctor or prescribing clinical pharmacist recently.
  • You are unsure whether the medicine qualifies for repeat prescribing.

The clinic’s news page says prescribing rules are changing from 1 February 2026 and some patients may be eligible for prescriptions up to 12 months. It also says not all patients will be eligible. The listed examples include stable health condition, unchanged dose and medication for at least six months, no frequent monitoring requirement, medication approved for 12-month prescribing, and willingness to attend an annual in-person review.

Patient portal

MyIndici patient portal: what it can and cannot safely replace

Devon Medical Centre’s patient portal page says MyIndici allows patients to access medical records, view medical conditions, lab results, immunisations, allergies, prescriptions and other information online. It also says patients can update personal details, make routine GP appointments, order prescriptions and message their GP. Fees apply for some services.

Good uses for MyIndici

  • Routine GP appointment booking.
  • Repeat prescription requests when suitable.
  • Viewing available lab results and immunisation information.
  • Updating personal details.
  • Non-urgent portal messages where appropriate.

Phone instead when

  • You need same-day or urgent care.
  • You are unsure whether a phone consult is enough.
  • You need immigration, driver, company or insurance medicals.
  • You need urgent prescription processing.
  • You are worried about results or symptoms are worsening.

The patient portal page says registration is quick and easy and that patients should talk to a member of Devon Medical to register. Confirm the latest setup process directly before sending personal information.

Fees and payment

Devon Medical Centre consultation fees and payment reminders

Devon Medical Centre’s fees page lists enrolled-patient fees for standard consultations and says extra charges for materials and additional services may apply. The practice information page says payment is required on the day of treatment, and current fees are available at reception and on the practice information notice board.

Under 14 Free Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.
14–17 $30 / CSC $13.50 Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.
18–24 $45 / CSC $20 Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.
25–44 $67 / CSC $20 Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.
45–64 $67 / CSC $20 Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.
65+ $67 / CSC $20 Listed standard enrolled-patient consultation fee.

Ask before booking

  • Am I being charged as enrolled, casual or non-funded?
  • Does my Community Services Card apply?
  • Will this be GP, nurse, pharmacist prescriber, HIP, procedure or special medical?
  • Will materials, equipment, wound care, casts, travel vaccines or minor surgery add cost?
  • Is payment required on the day?

Cost mistakes to avoid

  • Do not assume procedure or material costs are included in a standard consult.
  • Do not book special medicals as ordinary appointments.
  • Ask about urgent prescription fees before requesting urgent processing.
  • Keep contact and eligibility details current.
  • Ask reception if you need fee clarification before attending.
New patients

New-patient enrolment, GP availability and first medical requirements

Devon Medical Centre’s new-patient page says the clinic is currently accepting new patients and asks people to collect an enrolment pack from reception. It also says patients should read the terms and conditions before enrolling.

The same page says all new patients over 35 require a 15-minute appointment with the Medical Care Assistant, followed by a 30-minute appointment with the GP. It lists the new-patient medical fee as $139 for non-Community Service Cardholders and $57 for Community Service Cardholders.

Before trying to enrol

  • Confirm the clinic is still accepting new patients.
  • Collect an enrolment pack from reception.
  • Read the terms and conditions before enrolling.
  • Ask which doctor is currently able to take new patients.
  • Ask whether the over-35 Medical Care Assistant and GP appointments apply to you.

Useful eligibility reminder

The enrolment form explains New Zealand primary care eligibility rules and asks for entitlement details. Bring proof of eligibility if requested and keep visa or residency details current if your eligibility changes.

When the clinic is closed

After-hours care: MediCross, Practice Plus, Healthline and 111

Devon Medical Centre’s location and after-hours page says that for urgent medical care outside opening hours, patients should go to MediCross Urgent Care & GP Clinic, 8 Egmont Street, New Plymouth, phone 06 759 8915. It also says after-hours virtual consultations are available through Practice Plus.

After-hours access, fees and wait times can change. If it is safe to do so, confirm directly with the after-hours provider before travelling. Do not use routine portal messages, email or repeat prescription requests for emergency symptoms.

Use 111 for emergencies

Call 111 if symptoms are severe, sudden, life-threatening, worsening quickly, or if you cannot safely decide whether it is urgent.

Use Healthline when unsure

Healthline can help when you are worried, unsure, cannot access a GP, need advice after hours, or need help deciding the next step.

Use MediCross for in-person urgent care when suitable

The clinic points patients to MediCross Urgent Care & GP Clinic for urgent care outside Devon Medical Centre opening hours.

Use Practice Plus for virtual after-hours care

Practice Plus may suit some non-emergency after-hours consultations that can be handled virtually. It does not replace 111 for emergencies.

Services and support

Doctor services, nurse services, HIP support and procedures

Devon Medical Centre’s services page lists a wide range of doctor services, including skin checks, punch biopsies, minor surgery, IUD/Mirena insertion, travel advice, sigmoidoscopy, nasal cautery, wedge resections, injury management, plaster casts, pilot and driving medicals, immigration medicals, company medicals, Health Warrant of Fitness, dioxin medicals, first-trimester antenatal care, WINZ medicals, and travel consultations and vaccinations.

Special medicals

Travel consultations

The services page says travel consultations and vaccinations should be booked at least six weeks before travel where possible.

HIP wellbeing support

Health Improvement Practitioners can help with stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep, chronic pain, lifestyle change, smoking and other life or health problems. Sessions are listed as free.

Results and nurse calls

The practice says it contacts patients about abnormal results and does not routinely contact patients with normal results. You can phone the nurse for results if needed.

Specialists using rooms

The practice information page says specialist doctors use the rooms at times for private practice, and patients need a referral to see a specialist.

Immigration medicals

Immigration medical appointments at Devon Medical Centre

Devon Medical Centre has a dedicated immigration medicals page. It says patients should email admin@devonmedical.co.nz to book an immigration medical appointment. If you are unsure what visa is required, the clinic says to contact Immigration New Zealand on 0508 558 855 because that information is needed before the appointment can be confirmed.

The immigration page asks patients to include the type of medical examination required, a copy of the passport, and the visa type being applied for. It also says medicals are not completed the same day the appointment is booked, the passport must be brought to the appointment, general medicals are completed over two separate appointments, a urine sample may be required, and chest x-rays are completed at Taranaki Radiology with a separate fee.

Email booking checklist

  • Type of medical: general, chest x-ray only, partial medical or specialist referral.
  • Copy of passport.
  • Type of visa being applied for.
  • Any Immigration New Zealand instructions.
  • Preferred contact details.

Do not arrive unprepared

  • Bring your passport.
  • Expect more than one appointment for general medicals.
  • Ask about urine sample requirements.
  • Ask about Taranaki Radiology x-ray cost and timing.
  • Do not expect same-day completion from first contact.
Before calling or visiting

Patient checklist before you call, book or attend

A practical checklist reduces wrong bookings, missing documents, short appointments and avoidable repeat calls. Use this before phoning Devon Medical Centre, booking through MyIndici or attending the clinic.

Before calling

  • Write your main reason in one short sentence.
  • Note when symptoms started and whether they are improving or worsening.
  • List current medicines, allergies and important health conditions.

Avoid delay

Common mistakes that cause wrong bookings, delays or extra cost

  • Using portal messages for urgent symptoms: phone for urgent same-day needs and call 111 for emergencies.
  • Requesting a repeat too late: standard prescription requests are completed in two business days, and urgent requests incur extra fees.
  • Assuming every medicine can be repeated: most routine medicines require review by the doctor or prescribing clinical pharmacist every six months.
  • Booking special medicals as ordinary appointments: driver, company and insurance medicals need extra time.
  • Booking travel vaccines too late: the services page says travel consultations should be booked at least six weeks before travel where possible.
  • Expecting normal result calls: the practice says it does not routinely contact patients with normal results.
  • Arriving for immigration medical without passport: the immigration page says you must bring your passport.
  • Assuming immigration medicals are same-day: the clinic says medicals are not completed the same day they are booked.
  • Using this guide as medical advice: this page is for contact routing and preparation only.
