What should you do first for Ratanui Medical Centre?
Ratanui has important rules that many users can miss: weekday doctor and nurse visits are by appointment, Book on Day acute and respiratory appointments open from 8am, Saturday clinic is walk-in 9am–12pm with limits, and respiratory patients may need to wait in the car. Use this route before scrolling.
Call 111. Do not wait for email, patient portal, a Book on Day slot or Saturday clinic.
Phone (09) 837 0740 from 8am for Book on Day acute or respiratory clinic options.
Do not enter the clinic first. Phone reception or the urgent mobile and wait in your car if instructed.
Saturday clinic is listed as walk-in 9am–12pm, last entry 11:45am, with phones not answered on Saturdays.

Opening hours, phone number, mobile and email contacts
Ratanui Medical Centre’s official contact page lists the clinic at 77 Lincoln Road, Henderson, Auckland 0610. The main phone number is (09) 837 0740. The Ratanui mobile number is listed as 021 0896 4606 for urgent calls only, respiratory patients waiting in the carpark, and urgent COVID or respiratory calls.
The appointment page says reception staff are on duty Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm. Doctor and nurse appointments are available from 8:30am to 5pm. Saturday clinic is listed as walk-in from 9am to 12pm, with last entry at 11:45am, phones not answered on Saturdays, and possible early closure if there are too many patients waiting.
How to book the right Ratanui Medical appointment
Ratanui’s official appointment page says the clinic is unable to give clinical advice or make appointments by email. It also says a weekday walk-in service to see a doctor is not available. Book on Day acute and respiratory clinic appointments are by appointment from 8am.
This is important because users may assume a medical centre allows walk-ins any time. Ratanui’s current wording is more specific: routine doctor appointments can be booked ahead, urgent one-issue Book on Day slots open from 8am, and Saturday clinic operates differently.
Decide if it is emergency, urgent or routine
Call 111 for emergencies. For urgent but non-emergency weekday needs, phone from 8am for Book on Day acute or respiratory clinic options.
Phone rather than email for appointments
Ratanui says appointments need to be booked by phone and it cannot provide clinical advice or make appointment bookings by email.
Tell reception if the issue is urgent or complex
The appointment page asks patients to advise if their need is urgent or complex so appropriate time can be arranged.
Use Book on Day for urgent one-issue needs
Ratanui describes Book on Day quick clinic appointments as urgent one-issue appointments that can be booked from 8am and fill fast.
Respect respiratory arrival rules
If you have cough, flu, sore throat, shortness of breath or respiratory symptoms, phone first and wait in your car if instructed.
Respiratory, flu and COVID-like symptoms: do not just walk inside
Ratanui’s appointment page says patients coming into the clinic are strongly encouraged to wear a mask. If you have respiratory or flu symptoms, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath, the official guidance says not to come inside the clinic first.
Respiratory patients may be asked by reception or nurses to do a RAT test before entering. You may be asked to wait in your car and wait for the doctor or nurse to call you in. The page also asks patients to confirm mobile number and car number plate, and notes that doctors may call from an unidentified number.
If symptoms are severe
Call 111 for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, collapse, blue lips, serious worsening, or any situation that may be life-threatening.
If symptoms are not emergency-level
- Phone reception on (09) 837 0740.
- Use 021 0896 4606 if instructed or urgent respiratory/mobile pathway applies.
- Wait in the car if told.
- Keep your phone available for an unidentified-number call.
- Provide your car number plate and mobile number.
Health Connect / Aero Patient Portal: what patients should know
Ratanui’s patient portal page describes Health Connect as the Aero Patient Portal. To subscribe, patients need to complete and sign the consent form after reading the terms. The form can be obtained from reception, downloaded, emailed to reception, or uploaded digitally.
The portal instructions say once the completed and signed form is received, the patient will receive a one-off invoice for $20 for administration and future support. After payment is received, the patient is invited to access the portal. The clinic’s portal news says patients can access details, results, repeat prescriptions and appointment bookings, with gradual release of available appointments.
Good uses for Health Connect
- Routine appointment booking where appointments are available.
- Accessing patient details and selected results.
- Repeat prescription requests where clinically appropriate.
- Non-urgent tasks that do not need same-day assessment.
Phone instead when
- You need urgent or same-day help.
- You have respiratory symptoms and need arrival instructions.
- Your symptoms are worsening.
- Your medicine changed or caused new symptoms.
- You are not set up or have not paid/received portal access yet.
Repeat prescriptions: online, phone or scripts email
Ratanui’s prescriptions page says patients may order a prescription online, by phone on (09) 837 0740, or by email at scripts@ratanui.co.nz. It says to allow 1 to 2 working days for prescriptions to be actioned, and that they are usually ready by 2:30pm the following day.
The page says vague requests such as “just a repeat of my medications” cannot be accepted. Prescription requests require your name, date of birth or NHI number, and pack or file number. If emailing, provide the exact drug name, dose and quantity required.
Before requesting a script
- List each medicine name exactly.
- Include dose and quantity.
- Include date of birth or NHI number.
- Include pack/file number if available.
- Request early, not on the day you run out.
When review may be needed
Ratanui’s services page says stable long-term prescriptions may be obtained by phone or email, but regular repeats may require nurse follow-up, such as blood pressure monitoring. It also says some repeat prescriptions require a doctor consultation every six months so medication can continue.
Ratanui Medical Centre fees patients usually search first
Fees can change, and your final cost can depend on enrolment, age, Community Services Card status, ACC status, appointment type, Saturday attendance, longer consultation, extra services, referral admin, prescriptions and whether the account is paid on the day. Confirm directly before booking.
The official fees page says standard GP consultation fees are based on standard appointments. It also says extra fees may apply if a consultation is prolonged, complex, or if extra services are required, such as liquid nitrogen or driver licence examination.
Ask before booking
- Am I being charged as enrolled, casual, visitor or non-resident?
- Does my Community Services Card apply?
- Is this a standard weekday appointment or Saturday clinic?
- Will ACC, referral, prescription, procedure or nurse charges apply?
- Will a longer or complex consultation cost extra?
Avoid surprise costs

- Ask about fees before extra services such as liquid nitrogen or medicals.
- Request repeats before urgent same-day handling is needed.
- Confirm Saturday clinic fees before attending.
Enrolment, PHO subsidy and ID requirements

The enrolment page explains that PHO enrolment supports subsidised care and that a person can only be enrolled with one medical provider at any one time.
The official enrolment page says patients should complete the enrolment form and return the original signed form to the practice with photo ID, such as passport, birth certificate or driver licence.
