Our Emergency Department is open at Middlemore hospital
Our health and medical facilities are essential services and this includes our hospitals and emergency departments (ED).
The Middlemore ED remains open 24/7 for those who need emergency care.
We’re doing things slightly differently when you come in and that’s to help keep everyone safe; so you will be screened prior to entering ED and then directed to the appropriate place or staff member to look after you.
Our Emergency Department is open as usual so if you are hurt or unwell please come in and see us.
For minor illness or injury, please still phone Healthline (0800 611 116) or your family doctor and follow their advice.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
