As the Matariki stars return to our sky, it's a beautiful opportunity to slow down, reconnect with whānau, and reflect on what matters most.

From all of us at The Doctors, we wish you and your loved ones a peaceful and meaningful Matariki.

🌧️ Seasonal changes can affect your mood — especially with less sunlight, colder days, and more time spent indoors. Feeling a bit low or slow is normal at this time of year. But if it's impacting your daily life, it could be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — a type of depression triggered by the seasons.

Small steps can help:
✔️ Get outside in the morning light
✔️ Stay active — even gentle movement helps
✔️ Boost your vitamin D through food or supplements
✔️ Reach out for support

💬 If you or your someone in your whānau is struggling with their mental health, or wants to make behavioural health changes, we offer free support through our Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP), Noeleen.

Noeleen can be seen with or without a referral, is often available on the same day, and her services are completely free.

To book, please call us on 09 407 7777, talk to your GP, or ask at Reception.

Struggling to breathe in the colder weather? 💨You’re not alone.

1 in 6 Kiwis live with a respiratory condition, and autumn and winter can make symptoms worse. Cold, damp air and more time indoors can trigger flare-ups — especially for asthma, COPD and bronchitis.

Breathe easier this winter:
✔️ Keep up with flu & Covid vaccines
✔️ Use your medications regularly
✔️ Keep your home warm, dry & ventilated
✔️ Stay active — even short walks help
✔️ Quit smoking, if you smoke
✔️ Chat to your GP or nurse about an action plan

If your breathing feels different or you’re worried, book an appointment with your GP or nurse.

✅ MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
✅ Whooping cough
✅ Pneumococcal disease
✅ Meningitis
✅ Hepatitis B

💉 Why Immunise?
Keeping your child's immunisations up to date not only protects them but also helps safeguard our most vulnerable, like young children and the elderly.

For tamariki aged under 18, all immunisations on the National Immunisation Schedule are free—no matter their visa or citizenship status.

Missed any immunisations? No worries! You can catch up. Speak with your doctor or one of our friendly nurses.
