Mobile nursing
Clinical support from the comfort of your own home
If you have a medical emergency, please dial 111 immediately.
For general health advice, you can contact Healthline on 0800 611 116.
Please contact your GP for acute medical care such as fever, chest pain, breathing problems, or flu and cold symptoms, as well as for home care and district nursing services.
For mental health concerns, find the right support for you here.
Our friendly nurses offer home visits for people in our Pasifika community who have serious, long-term medical conditions.
We understand that there are barriers that prevent our people from accessing the health services they need. Our mobile nurses help bridge that gap.
By bringing care directly to our people, we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to receive the support and treatment they deserve.
If you have a long-term medical condition and think you might benefit from using our free mobile nursing service, ask your general practitioner to put in a referral through to us.
Otherwise, fill out the registration form and one of our clinical team members will be in touch.

With a nursing philosophy rooted in service, connection, and advocacy, Alicia is passionate about uplifting Pasifika whānau and ensuring care is delivered with cultural understanding and compassion. Alongside her clinical work, she has supported the next generation of Pacific health professionals as a mentor and tutor for Pasifika pre‑health and nursing students at Ara Institute of Canterbury.
Alicia’s greatest motivation is her “why”: her family. They ground her, remind her of her roots, and inspire the future she wants to help shape. As she says, “Tautua nei mo se taeao manuia — service today for a better tomorrow.” It’s the rhythm she walks to and the heartbeat behind her work for her people.
