Wellington Accident & Urgent Medical Centre is a walk-in urgent care clinic at 17 Adelaide Road in Mount Cook, opposite McDonald's and close to the Basin Reserve. It is open every day from 8am to 9pm, with no appointment needed, and the website says it is Wellington's only ACC accredited urgent care centre. It treats accidents and urgent medical problems such as sprains, cuts and broken bones, and it has x-ray and plastering facilities on site, so most simple fractures can be treated there. An on-site fracture clinic, run by an orthopaedic specialist and specialist nurses, handles follow-up on Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings, with a $65 charge per visit as at 2026. Clinic staff bring photo ID with them when visiting, and the clinic does not register patients.
The centre is owned and operated by Wellington GPs and was set up more than 25 years ago to give after-hours care to their patients. Its urgent pharmacy is open 9am to 9pm every day.
