How to book the right Westmere Medical Centre appointment
Westmere Medical Centre says appointments are scheduled at 15-minute intervals. The practice makes every effort to keep to time, but patient needs can cause delays. It suggests phoning the practice to check how it is running before attending your appointment.
If you need more than 15 minutes or have several issues to discuss, book a longer appointment or plan to return for a second appointment. The clinic says either option may incur an additional fee. If you book a double appointment on MyIndici, book two consecutive appointments.
Check urgency first
Call 111 for emergencies. Phone the clinic for urgent same-day concerns while it is open. Use Healthline or the after-hours clinic when the practice is closed.
Use MyIndici for routine bookings only
If you are enrolled and registered, MyIndici may be suitable for standard routine appointments and repeat prescription requests.
Phone for urgent book-on-day appointments
Healthpoint states urgent book-on-day appointments cannot be viewed or made on the patient portal. Phone the practice directly.
Ask for longer time when needed
Multiple issues, forms, skin checks, surgical discussions, mental health concerns, medication reviews or complex family needs may need extra time.
Cancel early if you cannot attend
The practice says no-shows or cancellations within an hour of the appointment may be charged a fee.
What to say when you call Westmere Medical Centre
Reception cannot diagnose you, but clear information helps the practice route your request. Use the short scripts below when calling.
For urgent same-day symptoms
“I need advice today. Symptoms started on [day/time]. They are improving/worsening. Is a book-on-day appointment appropriate?”
For a sick child
“My child is unwell today. Age is [age]. Main symptoms are [symptoms]. Do you have same-day guidance or a nurse call option?”
For multiple concerns
“I have more than one issue. Should I book a longer appointment or two consecutive portal appointments?”
For repeat prescriptions
“I need a repeat prescription for [medicine]. Is MyIndici suitable, or do I need a review first?”
For enrolment
“I live in Westmere / have immediate family enrolled. Do I meet the current enrolment policy?”
For fees
“Is this a standard 15-minute consultation, ACC surcharge, longer appointment, procedure, certificate or nurse service fee?”
MyIndici: appointment booking and repeat prescriptions
Westmere Medical Centre links to the MyIndici patient portal for appointment booking and prescription requests. Healthpoint says appointments can be made through MyIndici if the patient is enrolled and registered on the portal, or by phoning the practice.
The most important portal limit is urgent care. Urgent book-on-day appointments are not visible or bookable on MyIndici. If you think the problem needs same-day care, phone the clinic.
Good uses for MyIndici
- Routine standard appointment booking.
- Repeat prescription requests when suitable.
- Booking two consecutive appointments if a double appointment is needed.
- Managing selected non-urgent health tasks as an enrolled registered patient.
Phone instead when
- You need a book-on-day urgent appointment.
- You have severe, worsening or unclear symptoms.
- You are booking for a sick child who may need prompt assessment.
- You need a longer or complex appointment but are unsure how to book it.
- You are not enrolled or not registered for the portal.
Repeat prescriptions and medicine-planning reminders
Westmere Medical Centre provides a MyIndici link for prescription requests. This is useful for routine repeat requests if you are enrolled, registered and the medicine is suitable for repeat prescribing.
A repeat prescription is not always automatic. If the medicine has changed, the dose has changed, you have side effects, monitoring is due, you have not been reviewed recently, or the medicine may need closer supervision, phone the practice rather than relying only on an online request.
Before requesting a repeat
- Confirm you are enrolled and registered for MyIndici.
- Write down exact medicine names and strengths if known.
- Request early, especially before weekends and public holidays.
- Ask whether a review is needed if your medicine changed.
- Confirm how the prescription will be sent or collected.
Phone first when
- You need medicine urgently or today.
- You have new symptoms or side effects.
- You are unsure whether the medicine is repeatable.
- You are not registered for MyIndici.
- You need advice about a child, older person, pregnancy, or complex condition.
Westmere Medical Centre fees, CSC and ACC surcharge notes
Westmere Medical Centre’s fee page says the listed fees are for a standard consultation. Services and time beyond a standard consultation may incur additional charges. Always confirm directly before booking because fees can change and final charges can depend on age, enrolment, Community Services Card status, ACC, appointment length, procedures, materials and other services.
Fee questions to ask before booking
- Am I being charged as enrolled or non-enrolled?
- Does my Community Services Card apply to this exact service?
- Is this a standard 15-minute GP consultation?
- Will extra time, minor surgery, skin check, procedure, materials or certificate work add charges?
- If the visit is injury-related, what ACC surcharge applies?
Cost mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume a longer appointment costs the same as a standard 15-minute appointment.
- Do not assume ACC means free for adults.
- Do not miss or cancel within an hour if you want to avoid possible missed-appointment charges.
- Do not assume procedure, surgical or skin cancer services are included in a standard consultation fee.
- Confirm fees directly before attending if cost matters to you.
Enrolment policy and who may be accepted
Westmere Medical Centre’s enrolment page says the practice is enrolling new patients, but under a current enrolment policy. The policy says the practice can accept patients who are resident in the immediate Westmere suburb or who are immediate family members of people already enrolled with the practice.
The clinic also says it is currently unable to accept new patients outside this policy because of increasing demand, and that this position is reviewed every three months. If you are outside the immediate Westmere area and do not have immediate family enrolled, phone first before assuming you can enrol.
If you want to enrol
- Phone and ask whether the current enrolment policy applies to you.
- Be ready to confirm immediate Westmere residence or immediate family connection.
- Ask what forms, ID and eligibility information are required.
- Ask about MyIndici registration after enrolment.
- Ask about the recommended new patient appointment.
New enrolled patient appointment
The enrolment page says all new enrolled patients are advised to book a 30-minute appointment ideally within one month so ongoing health needs can be assessed. The clinic says this extended appointment is charged as a double consultation fee.
After-hours care and White Cross Ascot urgent care
Westmere Medical Centre’s after-hours page lists White Cross Ascot – 24/7 Urgent Care as the preferred after-hours clinic. It lists the location as Ascot Hospital, 90 Green Lane East, Remuera 1050, Auckland.
White Cross Ascot’s official listing describes it as open 24 hours, located at 90 Green Lane East in Remuera, with walk-in urgent care, parking, accessibility, pharmacy and X-ray services. Always confirm current wait time, fees and service availability before travelling if the situation allows.
Emergency symptoms
Call 111 immediately. Do not wait for the practice to reopen or sit in an urgent-care queue for life-threatening symptoms.
Unsure and need advice
Call Healthline on 0800 611 116 for free health advice when the practice is closed and you are not sure what to do.
Urgent non-life-threatening care
White Cross Ascot is the preferred after-hours urgent-care clinic listed by Westmere Medical Centre.
Routine issues
For routine repeats, standard follow-up, enrolment questions, certificates and non-urgent admin, use Westmere Medical Centre during normal hours or MyIndici where suitable.
GP services, nurse services, skin checks, minor surgery and vaccines
Westmere Medical Centre lists general medical and surgical consultations, women’s health, cervical screening, menopause advice, wellness checks, childhood immunisations, ACC consultations, suturing, minor fractures, travel advice and immunisations, liquid nitrogen treatments, skin cancer checks and a range of skin cancer surgery services.
A listed service does not mean it can be booked instantly, online or as a short standard appointment. Some services require a longer appointment, a specific clinician, nurse preparation, procedure booking, materials, extra fee or referral.
General GP care
Use routine appointments for ordinary GP care, follow-ups, referrals, ongoing condition reviews and health planning.
Urgent day appointments
Book-on-day appointments are kept for urgent problems and should be requested by phone, not through MyIndici.
Skin checks and surgery
The practice lists skin cancer checks, minor surgery, excisions, grafts, flaps and other skin procedures. Ask about assessment, fee and procedure timing.

Listed services include cervical screening, menopause advice, IUCD insertion/removal, Jadelle insertion/removal and Pipelle sampling.
Immunisations
Childhood, influenza, COVID-19 and travel immunisation services are listed. Confirm stock, eligibility and timing before attending.

The practice lists nurse-led chronic disease management and ECGs. Ask whether GP, nurse or longer appointment booking is needed.
Westmere Medical Centre, Westmere Pharmacy and urgent care are different services
