Children's Clinic
Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm
The Apollo Medical Children's Clinic is available for enrolled children under the age of 13 years who have acute medical problems and cannot get an appointment with their regular doctor within 24 hours.
Please phone Apollo Medical if you wish to make a booking to the children's clinic and you will get to speak to a doctor who will advise the best course of action for treating your child, and may result in an appointment being made.
Long term issues are still best managed by your child's regular doctor who is familiar with their medical history. The children's clinic has booked appointments for standard general practice consultations. The appointments are for 10 minutes duration and are with our general practice doctors. The appointments are free of charge to our enrolled children (normal fees apply to visitor children and Non-NZ children). Appointments can be made by phoning our receptionists or online through our patient portal Health365.
The advantages of this Children's Clinic service are:
- Set booked time / no need to wait to see a doctor through our Urgent Care service
- Free of charge to enrolled children under 13 years
- Staffed by general practitioners with an interest in child health
You can also continue to bring your child to see one of our Urgent Care doctors without an appointment between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday for acute medical needs and accidents/injuries.
Note: ACC consultations for all children under 13 years are free of charge at all times.
Long Term Condition Management (Repeat Prescriptions)
The Doctors Apollo Long Term Condition Medication Management Process is based on researched safe practice. It is designed to ensure that you, and all our patients, receive the most appropriate treatment and are given the best advice in order to optimize your health and well-being.
If you have not read our Process before please read it before requesting a repeat prescription, by clicking here.
The Doctors Apollo's prescription service aims to complete your repeat prescription requests within 3 working days. If you take regular long-term medications please ensure prescription requests are made in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
If you require a same-day URGENT PRESCRIPTION ($45), please call us on 09 477 3700 and request it over the phone. Please note the cut-out time for same-day service is 10am. Requests received after 10am will be processed on the next working day.
Thank you for assisting us to care for you.
The ordering of online repeat prescriptions can now only be accessed via our patient portal called ManageMyHealth.
Registration to ManageMyHealth needs to be with the practice staff, and you may be asked for a photo identification and a current email address. Alternatively you can phone the receptionist on 09 4773700 to order your repeat prescription. You will need to provide your name date of birth, contact phone number and the medications you require.
Charges: (please note we do not offer an urgent repeat prescription service - if you need your prescription in less than three working days you will need to come in and see a doctor to get it). All prescription requests for patients 14 years and older are charged based on the time taken for the doctor to review and prepare your prescription and are charged at a flat fee of $35 per patient. Patients not eligible for NZ healthcare funding will incur a higher fee.
You can pick up this prescription from our reception, once you have received notification that it is ready to be collected, or you can request it be faxed to your local pharmacy at no additional cost.
