11- 17 August is Women's Health Week - Te Wiki Hauora Wāhine

Women's Health Week is dedicated to empowering all wāhine to priotirise their health and wellbeing. 🙌

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. The new HPV test is simple, effective and usually only requires a quick self-swab. No speculum is needed, and it only takes a few minutes. If you’re aged 25 to 69 and have a cervix, regular screening every 5 years can detect HPV early, before it causes problems. Please call to book an appointment, or to talk to one of our lovely nurses. 👩‍🔬

Our Health Coach, and Health Improvement Practitioner are also available Monday - Thursday to give support through any issues or challenges you are facing, and in managing your health effectively.
Please call 03 3657900 to book a free appointment. ☺️

📢 Tested Positive for COVID-19? Here’s What to Do 😷

If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, it’s recommended you isolate for at least 5 days — even if your symptoms are mild. This helps protect your whānau, friends, and community 💛

🗓 Day 0 = the day your symptoms started or the day you tested positive (whichever came first).

Here’s how to keep others safe:

🏠 Stay home
No going to work, school, or public places.

🚪 Limit contact with others at home
If you can, sleep in a separate room and keep your distance. Open windows to get fresh air flowing.

😷 Wear a face mask
If you must go out, or are near others at home, pop a mask on.

📦 Get supplies delivered
Ask whānau or friends to drop essentials at your door — or order online.

🧼 Keep things clean
Disinfect shared surfaces like doorknobs, light switches, and phones. Do your own laundry too.

📱 Report your result
Let Health New Zealand know you tested positive:
• Online: My Health Record
• Call: 0800 222 478

You’ll get a text from 2328 or 2648 confirming your result and info about antiviral meds if you’re eligible.

💼 Need proof for work?
That confirmation text is all you need — no doctor’s note required.

Take care of yourself and those around you. Kia kaha ❤️

If you test positive for COVID-19, we recommend you isolate for at least 5 days, even if you only have mild symptoms. Find out what to do if you test positive, how to protect those around you, and what happens after your isolation period.
