A not-for-profit health centre at 60 Charlotte Street in Takapau, Central Hawke's Bay, run by the Takapau Community Health Charitable Trust. It opened in 1989 with a part-time nurse, after local rural residents bought the former post office building that still houses the clinic. We hear the centre is changing from a nurse-led clinic to a GP enrolling practice from Monday 5 October 2026, so patients will enrol under the Takapau Health Centre rather than with a specific doctor. Pre-enrolment is open for all zones, through the website or at the centre on weekday mornings, and enrolment needs ID and an emergency contact. Casual patients can still be assessed by a nurse for urgent matters. The services listed include well and unwell child and adult checks, and GP, nurse practitioner and nurse appointments. The centre also offers Health Improvement Practitioners, health coaches, respiratory clinics, and vision and hearing clinics. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm, and the website asks people to watch its Facebook page for updates.
