📢 Enrolment Forms Due – Wednesday 25 June, 2025

We have a number of patients eager to enrol with Dannevirke Family Health, but are currently unable to process new applications while several enrolment forms remain outstanding in the community.

If you have an enrolment form at home, please return it to the clinic at 40 Denmark Street, Dannevirke by Wednesday 25 June, 2025.

Unfortunately, any forms not returned by the end of that day will no longer be valid.

To ensure we can continue providing the best possible care, we are limiting the number of enrolments we accept. Thank you for your understanding and support - from the Dannevirke Family Health team.

A great couple of weeks being able to support our community again!
We are looking to follow up with anyone that has taken an enrolment form but not yet returned it. Please can these be returned by Friday the 13th of June.

Thank you Tararua, we've had a great day meeting as many of you as possible.

Our amazing team sincerely look forward to being able to support you all in the community.

It's been a joint effort and family affair - so thanks to all.

WOW to say the least. We are completely overwhelmed by the support from our community, beyond belief. Unfortunately we do need to temporarily pause further enrolments to allow us time to process the ones we have received.

Those who have picked up a form today and are completing it at home, please remember to drop it back as soon as you can.

Thanks so much for your understanding

As we count down to our Open Day this Saturday 24th May, we’re excited to welcome you to Dannevirke Family Health, your new local general practice.

If you’re thinking about enrolling on the day, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- If you’re 16 or older, please bring some photo ID and you will be required to sign your own form (eg. Drivers licence)
- If you’re enrolling a family member under 16, you’ll need to bring proof of identity for them (e.g. birth certificate or passport)

We’re expecting a great turnout, so please be patient (no pun intended) if things are a little busy, we’ll do our best to keep everything moving smoothly.

We’re here to support our community with patient and whānau focussed care. To make sure we can give each person the time and attention they deserve, we do have a limit on the number of people we can enrol - so if you’re keen to join, we’d love to see you sooner rather than later.

See you Saturday!
