Dunedin North Medical Centre’s official contact details list Level 1, Rossann Health Building, 650 George Street, North Dunedin, working hours Monday to Friday 8:00am to 5:30pm, phone 03 477 7583, and email office@dnmc.co.nz.

How to book the right appointment at Dunedin North Medical Centre
The official appointments page says appointments are 15 minutes unless a longer appointment is requested. It asks patients to book routine check-ups at least a week in advance where possible. If you have several concerns, request a double appointment and book it well in advance.
Some consultations need longer appointments, often with both doctor and nurse time. Dunedin North specifically lists first appointments as a new patient, driver licence medicals, childhood immunisation, diabetes review, life insurance, minor surgery and travel consultations as examples where reception should be told when booking.
Check urgency first
Call 111 for emergency symptoms. Phone the clinic for same-day uncertainty during opening hours. Use Healthline or after-hours services when the clinic is closed and you are unsure.
Use a normal appointment for one routine issue
A standard appointment is normally 15 minutes. Keep the main concern clear and bring medication details, recent letters and test information if relevant.
Request a double appointment for multiple concerns
If you want to discuss several concerns, ask reception for a double appointment. It may cost extra but gives the clinician safer time to address the issues.
Tell reception about special appointment types
New-patient visits, driver licence medicals, childhood immunisations, diabetes reviews, life insurance, minor surgery and travel consultations may need longer appointment planning.
Cancel early if you cannot attend
Dunedin North says missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than two hours’ notice may incur a $30 fee.
What to say when you call reception
Clear wording helps reception choose the right appointment length, clinician type and urgency level. Use short, practical wording and be honest about timing, severity and how many concerns you need to discuss.
For urgent same-day concerns
“I feel unwell today. Symptoms started [time/day]. They are getting better/worse. Can you advise the right booking route?”
For several concerns
“I have more than one issue to discuss. Should I book a double appointment, and what will the extra charge be?”
For a new-patient first visit
“I am new to the practice. Is enrolment suitable, what documents do I need, and do I need a longer appointment?”
For repeat prescriptions
“I need a repeat prescription. I have/have not seen the doctor in the last six months. Should I use Manage My Health or the phone option?”
For travel medicine
“I am travelling to [destination] on [date]. Do I need a travel consultation, yellow fever advice or a pre-travel form?”
For minor surgery or skin checks
“I need a skin check, liquid nitrogen or minor surgery question. Do I need a consult first, and what fees may apply?”
Manage My Health portal, results and secure online access
Dunedin North Medical Centre says its patient portal provider is Manage My Health. The online portal page says patients should continue using Manage My Health for prescription requests and to view laboratory and histology results.
The same page says the clinic has decided to stop uploading consultation notes because those notes can contain sensitive information and the clinic is taking a cautious approach to privacy. It also warns about phishing emails pretending to be from Manage My Health and says a warning sign is messages asking patients to confirm personal details.
Good uses for Manage My Health
- Requesting suitable repeat prescriptions.
- Viewing laboratory and histology results where available.
- Accessing online services only after your account is registered and activated.
- Using secure portal communication for suitable non-emergency tasks.
Phone instead when
- You have urgent, same-day or worsening symptoms.
- You cannot access or understand the portal.
- You receive a suspicious email asking for personal verification details.
- Your medicine changed, symptoms changed or you may need review.
- The issue is an emergency or cannot safely wait.
Portal registration and support
Dunedin North says you need a registered and activated Manage My Health account for access. If you want to register, speak with reception. If you have problems after activation, contact Manage My Health patient support.
Repeat prescriptions, 48-hour timing and when a review is needed
Dunedin North’s repeat prescription page says patients registered on Manage My Health should use the portal for repeat prescription requests. The phone system also has an option for repeat prescriptions, asking callers to leave name, date of birth, medication list, and the pharmacy name where the prescription should be sent, or to say collect if picking it up from the clinic.
The clinic says to allow 48 hours for all repeat prescription requests, whether through the patient portal or the answer-phone service. Repeat prescriptions are not automatic for every patient or medicine.
You may be able to request a repeat when
- You are under 80 years old.
- You have been seen by a doctor in the last six months.
- The medicine is already known to the practice and suitable for repeat prescribing.
- You can safely allow at least 48 hours for processing.
You may need an appointment first when
- You are 80 years or older and need a new prescription.
- It has been longer than six months since your last doctor appointment.
- You were recently discharged from hospital.
- Your medication has changed or caused new symptoms.
- You need blood pressure medication or contraceptive pill repeat and also need a nurse blood pressure check.
12-month prescription note
Dunedin North’s 12-month prescription update says that although some medicines can legally be prescribed for 12 months from 1 February 2026, this is not suitable for all medicines or health conditions. Any extension must be discussed at a GP review appointment. Until that review happens, prescriptions continue at three-monthly intervals.
Fees and charges patients usually search for first
Dunedin North’s fees page says the listed fees are a guide, can vary at the doctor’s discretion and depend on the services received. It also says missed appointments without notice may be charged. Confirm current prices directly before booking.
The official fees page lists standard 15-minute consultation fees for enrolled patients, ACC consultation fees, prescription charges and other services. Use the examples below as planning information only.
Ask before booking
- Am I enrolled, casual, ACC, CSC or non-funded for this visit?
- Is this a standard 15-minute consultation or a longer appointment?
- Will an ACC surcharge or casual visit fee apply?
- Will minor surgery, liquid nitrogen, travel consult, skin check or driver medical fees apply?
- Will a phone advice or nurse virtual consultation fee apply?
Payment details many users miss
- All fees are to be paid in full on the day of service.
- Cash, EFTPOS, online banking, telephone banking and arranged direct debits are listed as payment options.
- Fees not paid on the day, including prescription costs, may incur a $5 surcharge if a payment reminder is needed.
- If paying fees is difficult, the clinic says to speak to reception or the practice manager.
- Debt recovery costs may become the debtor’s responsibility.
New patients, enrolment limits and WellSouth support
Dunedin North Medical Centre’s homepage says the practice is only taking on certain new patients. It supports other family members of current patients enrolling with the practice and welcomes enrolment if you are new to the city or have moved to the north end.
For all others, the clinic says to contact WellSouth Enrolment Support Services on 0800 478 256 for help finding a local GP. Enrolment status can change, so confirm directly before relying on older directories or planning care around an assumption.
You may be in the preferred enrolment group if
- You are a family member of a current Dunedin North Medical Centre patient.

- You have moved to the north end of Dunedin.
- You can provide the information the clinic needs for enrolment.

Patient checklist before calling, booking or visiting
A good checklist reduces wrong bookings, repeat calls and avoidable costs. Prepare the basics before phoning, especially if you are helping a child, older person, whānau member, partner or someone who is too unwell to organise care alone.
Before calling
- Say whether you need same-day help or routine care.
- Note when symptoms started and whether they are improving or worsening.
- Have medicine names, allergies and important conditions ready.
- Ask if you need a standard 15-minute appointment or double appointment.
- Ask about fees if the request involves minor surgery, liquid nitrogen, travel, skin checks or medicals.
Before visiting
- Confirm appointment time and whether it is phone, video, email or face-to-face.
- Bring Community Services Card if relevant.
- Bring recent letters, hospital discharge notes, medication lists or test details.
- Bring payment method because fees are expected on the day.
- Allow extra time to reach Level 1 of the Rossann Health Building.
Common mistakes that cause delays or wrong bookings
- Booking too short: standard appointments are 15 minutes; multiple concerns should be booked as a double appointment.
- Forgetting special appointment needs: new-patient visits, driver medicals, immunisations, diabetes reviews, life insurance, minor surgery and travel consults may need extra planning.
- Leaving repeat prescriptions too late: the clinic says all repeat requests need 48 hours.
- Assuming repeats are automatic: patients 80 or older, those not seen in the last six months, or recently discharged patients may need a doctor appointment.
- Using portal or email for urgent symptoms: phone the clinic during hours, call Healthline when unsure, and call 111 for emergencies.
- Assuming enrolment is fully open: Dunedin North currently lists specific new-patient categories and directs others to WellSouth support.
- Forgetting cancellation timing: appointments missed or cancelled with less than two hours’ notice may incur a $30 fee.
- Using this page as clinical advice: this is an independent guide, not a consultation.
