Primary Healthcare

Evolve has a team of friendly, non-judgmental Doctors, Nurses and Nurse Practitioners. We provide free, high quality primary healthcare services to meet your health and wellbeing needs. Clinics are available at Evolve every weekday and also at some schools around Wellington.

Please discuss with our reception staff if you are eligible to register, OR if you are able to be seen for a CASUAL visit.  Please note that there are criteria for enrollment and casual visits. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate everybody's needs, but we will try our best to provide alterative options.

We ask that if you are unwell with respiratory or flu-like symptoms that you do not come into Evolve directly. Please phone and talk to a nurse first and we will devise a plan together. View our COVID-19 Safety page more more information.
