The team at Tahunanui Medical Centre strives to offer the families and community of Tahunanui a friendly and comprehensive healthcare service.
To provide consistent care for our families, we promise that any enrolled children under 14 will be seen by a doctor, no matter how busy we are.
We are currently enrolling new and existing residents of Tahunanui.
At Tahunanui Medical Centre, our dedicated team of health professionals is committed to providing the best, evidence-based care possible. We believe in fostering healthy, long-lasting relationships with our patients. As a teaching practice, we are also Cornerstone Accredited, a program designed by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners for general practices in New Zealand.
We want you to feel at ease during your visit and encourage you to share any concerns with our doctors or nurses. You are welcome to bring family or whānau for support while receiving our services, and we value your feedback to help us enhance our care.
The flu vaccine will be available from 1st April 2026 and we will be busy vaccinating, if you would like to have one please make an appointment by calling 035485154 to speak with one of our lovely receptionists or by booking online.
The cost is $40 unless you are eligible for a free one, courtesy of the Ministry of Health, you can check your eligibility by clicking here.
Flu vaccine may not stop you from getting the flu this winter but it will help to reduce the symptoms, recovery time and the spread within our community. Anyone over 65 years of age, those with close contact with children or the elderly, or those with long term health concerns are recommended to have the vaccine.
The flu vaccine can be given at the same time or immediately after the COVID-19 vaccine, you can book for either or both via the “book now” button above or by calling reception.

ADHD Assessments and Prescribing
From 1 February 2026, some GPs in New Zealand with additional training can assess, diagnose, and start medication for adult ADHD.
At Tahunanui Medical Centre, our GPs do not currently provide ADHD assessments, but we support specialist assessments.
We understand seeking an ADHD assessment can feel confusing and stressful. While we don’t provide this service directly, for our enrolled patients, your GP can:
- Talk through your concerns and symptoms
- Help with referrals to psychologists
- Continue prescribing ADHD medication—or start medication if a specialist has provided a diagnosis—where appropriate
ADHD assessments and diagnosis are not government funded and are usually accessed privately.
We’ll keep our website updated if our services change in the future.
Latest News
20th March, 2026
We’re pleased to share that some of our doctors are now using Heidi, an advanced AI tool designed to support efficiency and accuracy in patient care.
Heidi works quietly in the background during your consultation, transcribing the conversation into a clinical note. This allows your doctor to stay fully focused on you, rather than typing into a computer.
After your consultation, your doctor carefully reviews and finalises the notes before they are added to your medical record.
All information is securely processed, and any recordings are automatically deleted after a short period. These recordings are not stored in your medical record, helping to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
By using Heidi, we aim to streamline our processes and provide you with more attentive, high-quality care.
Your comfort and privacy are important to us. If you would prefer not to have Heidi used during your consultation, please let your doctor know—this will not affect your care in any way.

17th February, 2026We are pleased to share that Dr Amy Mannering is expanding her family again with a new addition! She will be going on maternity leave from 13 March 2026 and plans to return in March 2027.
