Need Katikati Medical Centre? This guide helps you choose the right next step: call reception, book a GP appointment, use MyIndici or Health365-style portal links, request a repeat prescription, check weekend emergency clinic rules, understand Ka Ora after-hours care, prepare for respiratory symptoms, compare fees, check new-patient catchment rules, and find the clinic at 4 Clive Road.
This is an independent patient information guide, not the official Katikati Medical Centre website. It does not diagnose, treat, promise appointment availability or replace a clinician. Confirm current opening hours, fees, prescription processing, weekend emergency clinic access, enrolment criteria and after-hours instructions directly with the clinic.
Emergency? In New Zealand, call 111 for life-threatening symptoms or if you need ambulance, police or fire emergency help. For health advice when you are worried or unsure and it is not clearly an emergency, use the clinic’s after-hours direction, Ka Ora where suitable, or Healthline on 0800 611 116.
What should you do first for Katikati Medical Centre?
Most people searching for a medical centre page need a quick decision: call, book, request a script, use the portal, ask about respiratory symptoms, or choose after-hours care. Start with the route that matches your situation.
Call 111. Do not wait for portal messages, email, prescription processing, routine appointment availability or after-hours webpage instructions.
Phone 07 549 0411. The clinic has duty doctor/nurse urgent appointments for sick children and adults, but reception should guide the route.
The clinic says to wear a surgical mask and not enter the building if you have respiratory symptoms. Phone reception first.
Use MyIndici/Health365 if registered, or phone reception. Do not use the contact form for prescriptions or appointments.

Katikati Medical Centre is a primary healthcare practice at 4 Clive Road, Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3129. The official contact page lists phone 07 549 0411 and email office@katimed.co.nz. WBOP PHO also lists on-site parking and accessibility-ready status.

Patient tools for appointments, scripts, respiratory symptoms and after-hours choices
These tools do not diagnose illness, recommend treatment or decide whether medicine is safe. They only help you choose a safer contact route and prepare better questions before calling, booking or visiting.

Katikati Medical Centre phone, email, address and opening hours
Katikati Medical Centre’s official contact page lists the clinic at 4 Clive Road, Katikati, Bay of Plenty 3129. The listed phone number is 07 549 0411 and the email address is office@katimed.co.nz.
The official contact page states that non-urgent general questions may be sent through the enquiry form or email, but prescription and appointment requests are not accepted through that enquiry form. Patients should phone reception or use the official portal route instead.
How to book a GP appointment at Katikati Medical Centre
Katikati Medical Centre’s appointments page says appointments may be either in-person consultations or phone consultations. The costs are the same and the usual length of both types of appointments is 15 minutes. For a phone consultation, the doctor phones at the agreed time, and if the doctor asks to see you in person on the same day, the clinic says you will not be charged twice.
Routine appointments can be booked by phoning reception on 07 549 0411. Receptionists are on duty from 8:00am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday to make appointments. Registered portal users may also use the clinic’s online booking route. Weekend appointments are for emergencies only and can only be booked on the day.
Decide whether this is emergency, urgent or routine
Use 111 for emergencies. Phone reception for same-day urgent care or respiratory symptoms. Use the portal only for non-urgent appointment booking.
Tell reception what the appointment is for
The clinic says it helps to tell reception which doctor you are registered under and a general description, such as maternity, check-up, insurance medical or sore throat.
Ask for longer time when needed
Longer appointments and some procedures using additional materials may incur additional charges. Ask for an estimate if the visit may need extra time.
Use phone consultation only when suitable
Phone consultations may be useful for some issues, but examination, procedures, respiratory pathway, urgent assessment or complex concerns may need a different route.
Prepare before attending
Bring your medicine list, allergies, forms, recent letters, test information, Community Services Card if relevant, and a short written list of top concerns.
If you have cough, cold, flu, COVID-like or respiratory symptoms
Katikati Medical Centre’s official homepage says patients with respiratory symptoms should wear a surgical mask and should not enter the building. The clinic says it uses a separate pathway for patients with respiratory symptoms including coughs and colds, with many handled over the phone and those needing to be seen assessed in a cabin accessed from the back carpark.
Do not walk straight in
Phone reception first on 07 549 0411 if you have respiratory symptoms. Follow the clinic’s current instructions before entering or arriving at the building.
Call 111 for severe symptoms
If breathing difficulty, chest pain, collapse, severe allergic reaction, stroke signs or another serious symptom is present, call 111 immediately.
Repeat prescriptions, urgent scripts and medication-review rules
Katikati Medical Centre’s prescriptions page says repeat prescriptions can be provided for some medical conditions, but patients still need regular consultations with their doctor so the condition is monitored within medical guidelines. If you have not seen your doctor in the last six months, the clinic says you will need to make an appointment.
Telephone script requests can be made by phoning 07 549 0411 and selecting option 2 for the script line. The clinic asks patients to provide name, address, date of birth, medication names and the pharmacy where the script should be sent.
Use a repeat prescription route when
- Your medication is stable and suitable for repeat prescribing.
- You have seen your doctor within the required review period.
- You can wait the standard two working days.
- You know the medicine names and pharmacy name.
- You are registered for MyIndici or can use the script line.
Phone or book review when
- You have not seen your doctor in the last six months.
- Your medicine or symptoms have changed.
- You are almost out of medicine.
- Monitoring such as blood pressure or blood tests may be due.
- You need same-day or weekend urgent processing.
The clinic’s 2026 prescription notice says 12-month prescriptions may be possible from February 2026, but the notice also says many patients will not be suitable for a full 12-month script and some may only be suitable for six months. The clinic checks reviews, medicine suitability, blood tests, blood pressure and screening before deciding.
MyIndici and Health365 wording: what patients should understand
Katikati Medical Centre’s portal page is titled MyIndici and says the service lets patients make non-urgent appointments, order repeat prescriptions at a discounted fee, access medical history, medications and immunisations, track results, and have a brief non-urgent email consult with a GP, where a fee may be charged.
Some clinic pages also use Health365 wording. Because portal labels can change, use the current portal link from the official Katikati Medical Centre site or ask reception which login applies to your account.
Good uses for the portal
- Non-urgent routine appointments.
- Stable repeat prescription requests.
- Viewing medical history, medications and immunisations.
- Tracking results where available.
- Brief non-urgent GP messaging if appropriate.
Phone instead when
- You are unwell today or need urgent triage.
- You have respiratory symptoms.
- You need a weekend emergency clinic appointment.
- You are a visitor or not enrolled.
- You are unsure whether a script review is due.
Katikati Medical Centre fees, weekend surcharge and payment rules
Katikati Medical Centre’s fees page lists enrolled-patient fees and explains that additional charges apply for longer appointments, follow-up phone calls, referrals, repeat prescriptions, completion of medical forms and other services outside a standard consultation. The clinic expects charges to be paid at the time of consultation.
Ask before booking
- Am I being charged as enrolled, visitor NZ resident or visitor non-NZ resident?
- Does my Community Services Card apply?
- Will this be GP, nurse, urgent, ACC, weekend, form, procedure or longer appointment?
- Will extra materials, referrals, medical forms or follow-up phone calls add cost?
- Is payment required before consultation because I am a visitor?
Payment and account notes
- Payment is expected at the time of consultation.
- Visitors are required to pay before consultation.
- Online banking is listed, with NHI and invoice number requested as payment reference.
- Unpaid accounts may incur debt collection charges.
- Patients having trouble paying are advised to speak with the doctor or administration manager.
New-patient enrolment, catchment area and visitor rules
Katikati Medical Centre’s new-patient page says the clinic has capacity for new enrolments, while the homepage says it is accepting limited numbers of new patients. WBOP PHO lists accepting new patients as limited with criteria. Because these statements can change, confirm enrolment status before preparing documents.
The clinic states its regular catchment area is for people who reside permanently between Waihi to the north and Wainui South Road to the south, including Athenree, Bowentown and Waihi Beach. If you live outside the catchment, the clinic points patients toward other medical centres in Te Puna, Bethlehem and Omokoroa.
Before trying to enrol
- Confirm enrolment is still open.
- Check whether you live inside the catchment area.
- Prepare proof of eligibility, such as NZ passport or a work permit with minimum required term.
- Ask reception for enrolment forms.
- Ask whether there are long waits for routine issues.
Visitor warning
The new-patient page says the clinic is not able to see visitors in most circumstances, does not have a walk-in Accident and Emergency clinic, and visitors must phone reception before arrival. Visitors may be asked to pay in advance.
After-hours care, Ka Ora, weekend emergency clinic and 111
Katikati Medical Centre lists weekend and public holiday hours as 8:30am–12 noon emergency clinic only. The appointment page says weekend appointments are for emergencies only and can only be booked on the day.
The clinic’s homepage says Ka Ora provides same-day online and after-hours GP consultations as an extension of the regular Katikati Medical Centre team. It says Ka Ora is available weekdays until 10pm and weekends and public holidays 8am–8pm, and also states that Ka Ora is not appropriate for urgent medical concerns. Healthpoint separately describes Ka Ora availability as weekdays from 5pm to 8:30am and 24/7 weekends/public holidays, so confirm the current booking window directly before relying on it.
Use 111 for emergencies
Call 111 if symptoms are severe, sudden, life-threatening, rapidly worsening, or if you cannot safely decide whether it is urgent.
Use clinic phone for after-hours direction
The new-patient page says after-hours phone advice through 07 549 0411 can redirect patients to a triage service answered by a qualified nurse.
Use Ka Ora when suitable
Ka Ora may suit same-day online or after-hours GP-style care for enrolled patients, but it is not appropriate for urgent medical concerns.
Use in-person urgent care when needed
The clinic’s visitor information points urgent care users toward Tauranga Public Hospital or 2nd Ave Health Centre in Tauranga, depending on situation. Confirm current access before travelling when safe.
GP services, urgent care, nursing, chronic care and health coaching
Katikati Medical Centre’s official service list includes Accident & Emergency / Urgent Care, children’s health, chronic disease management including respiratory and diabetes clinics, counselling, cryotherapy, driver’s licence medicals, ear suction, ECG, eye conditions, family medicine, female doctors, immunisations, laboratory tests, men’s health, nurse clinics, prescriptions, quit smoking, skin surgery, spirometry, terminal and palliative care, travel clinic, weight loss and women’s health.
WBOP PHO also lists online booking, phone-only virtual consults, HIP support, Health Coach support, weekend and public holiday emergency clinic, and on-site pharmacy facilities. Service access may depend on clinician availability, appointment type, fee, eligibility, triage and whether extra materials or time are required.
Urgent care and duty doctor/nurse
The official homepage says a dedicated duty doctor and nurse are available daily for acutely sick children and adults. These appointments are for emergencies only and patients should phone reception.
Respiratory and diabetes clinics
Chronic disease management is listed as a key service. Ask reception whether GP, nurse, Health Coach or another provider is most suitable.
Women’s health and smear tests
The homepage says smear tests are performed by specially trained nurses and advises phoning for a nurse appointment.
Ear suction and ear conditions
The service list includes ear suction and ear conditions. Ask whether a nurse or doctor appointment is required and whether fees apply.
Skin surgery and cryotherapy
Skin procedures may require assessment, longer appointment time, material fees or follow-up. Ask for an estimate before booking.
Travel clinic and immunisations
Travel and immunisation needs should be planned early, especially if multiple vaccines, timing rules or travel advice are needed.
Patient checklist before you call, book or attend

Before calling

- Leaving repeat prescriptions too late: standard scripts take two working days.
- Forgetting medicine names or pharmacy: the clinic asks for medication names and the pharmacy where the script should be sent.
- Assuming a 12-month script is automatic: the clinic says many patients will not be suitable and medication safety checks are required.
- Booking a short appointment for long issues: longer appointments and procedures may incur extra charges.
- Using weekend hours as normal clinic hours: Saturday, Sunday and public holiday hours are emergency clinic only.
- Visitors arriving without calling: the clinic says visitors must phone reception before arrival and may be asked to pay in advance.
- Using this guide as medical advice: this page is for contact routing and preparation only.
