Mt Roskill Medical Centre: Hours, Locations, and Services

James George Cooper Clarke • 2026-10-20 • Reviewed by Oliver Bennett

Anyone who has searched for “Mt Roskill Medical Centre” has probably hit the same trap: the name points to more than one clinic, and the right choice depends on whether you need a routine GP, a Saturday morning slot, or care for a cut that can’t wait. Along Stoddard and Richardson roads sit three separate practices — including the seven-day urgent-care clinic at 445 Richardson Road, open 8:00am to 8:00pm, phone 09 627 8552 (White Cross clinic directory).

4What’s next
  • For urgent minor injuries, walk in to 445 Richardson Road — no appointment needed (White Cross clinic directory).
  • For routine GP care, book ahead at either Stoddard Road practice (GP Central; Bettr / Local Doctors).
  • GP Central’s Saturday clinic closes on Easter, Christmas and New Year Saturdays, plus Saturdays after Friday public holidays (GP Central).

Three clinics, one pattern: only the Richardson Road practice is open all seven days, while the two Stoddard Road sites stick to standard weekday schedules.

Bottom line: The pattern: the name “Mt Roskill Medical Centre” hides a real difference in access — one clinic behaves like an urgent-care hub, while the other two run like scheduled services.

What are the opening hours of Mt Roskill Medical Centre clinics?

Opening hours are where the three practices differ most — and where the confusion usually starts.

What are the weekday hours?

Is there weekend availability?

The catch

GP Central Stoddard’s Saturday walk-in disappears on holiday weekends — Easter, Christmas, New Year and any Saturday after a Friday public holiday. That leaves 445 Richardson Road as the only weekend option on those weeks.

The pattern: evenings and Sundays narrow the field to one clinic. For routine care, weekdays work; for everything after 6:00pm or on a Sunday, Richardson Road is the default.

Where are the Mt Roskill Medical Centre locations?

Addresses matter more than the name in this suburb — the same “medical centre” label sits on three physically separate practices.

Which clinics are on Stoddard Road?

Where is the Richardson Road clinic?

The implication: don’t type “Mt Roskill Medical Centre” into your GPS and assume you’re done. The label covers three different doors, and the door you pick determines the care you get.

What services – including urgent care – do Mt Roskill Medical Centre clinics provide?

Services are where the Richardson Road clinic separates itself from the two Stoddard practices.

What urgent care services are available?

  • At 445 Richardson Road, treatment covers fevers, allergies, bites, burns, cuts, bruises, sprains and strains (Bettr / Local Doctors (booking platform)).
  • White Cross adds accident and injury treatment, immunisation, sexual health, child health and long-term-condition services at the same site (White Cross (urgent-care network)).
  • X-ray and pharmacy services also appear on White Cross’s directory, though the clinic’s own pages don’t consistently confirm them (White Cross (urgent-care network)).
  • The White Cross fees page lists the site as “Local Doctors Mt Roskill GP & Urgent Care,” which is how the same clinic appears across the network (White Cross (fees page)).

Are there GP consultations?

  • Yes — all three sites operate as general practices: 445 Richardson Road combines GP care with urgent care (Bettr / Local Doctors), 223 Stoddard Road provides GP services by appointment (GP Central), and 20 Stoddard Road is a GP surgery with appointment-only access (Bettr / Local Doctors).
Why this matters

For Mt Roskill residents without a regular GP, the practical default is set: 445 Richardson Road is the only site that combines GP care, urgent care and seven-day walk-in access under one roof.

The implication: the clinic you choose isn’t just about location — it’s about which services you can reach without a referral or a long wait.

How can I book an appointment or walk in?

Booking systems are the sharpest difference between the three clinics — get this wrong and you’ll be turned away.

Can I book online?

Do I need an appointment for urgent care?

The trade-off: the flexible clinics trade the certainty of a booked time for the convenience of turning up. If your schedule is tight, book ahead; if the problem is urgent, just go.

How do I contact each clinic?

One phone number matters most in this area, but it’s not the only route to care.

What are the phone numbers?

What are the email addresses?

  • None of the reviewed clinic pages publishes a direct email address for appointments; the practical routes are Bettr’s online booking forms and the phone line above.
What to watch

The phone number on a search result isn’t enough — 20 Stoddard Road will turn you away without a booking, so the call that matters is the one you make before leaving.

The catch: save 09 627 8552 before you need it. For the Stoddard Road practices, the websites are the reliable contact channel — and their hours don’t extend past the business day.

How do the three Mt Roskill clinics compare side by side?

Three clinics, three different access models: one seven-day urgent-care hub, one weekday practice with a Saturday walk-in, and one strictly appointment-only surgery.

Detail 445 Richardson Road (White Cross directory) 223 Stoddard Road (GP Central) 20 Stoddard Road (Bettr listing)
Monday–Friday 8:00am–8:00pm 8:00am–6:00pm 8:30am–5:00pm
Saturday 8:00am–8:00pm Walk-in 8:30am–1:00pm Closed
Sunday 8:00am–8:00pm Closed Closed
Booking model Walk-in or appointment Bookings required (Saturday: walk-in) Appointment only
Best contact route Phone 09 627 8552 GP Central contact page Bettr online booking

What this means: the right clinic is determined by a single question — is this problem urgent or can it wait? Urgent goes to column one; routine goes to either Stoddard practice.

The upsides and downsides of Mt Roskill’s clinics

Upsides

Downsides

  • 20 Stoddard Road turns away walk-ins entirely (Bettr / Local Doctors).
  • GP Central’s Saturday clinic disappears on Easter, Christmas, New Year Saturdays and post-public-holiday Saturdays (GP Central).
  • Online booking isn’t offered consistently across all three sites.

The trade-off: one clinic offers the broadest access but the least continuity of care; the Stoddard practices offer continuity but demand planning.

How to get solid care at a Mt Roskill clinic in four steps

  1. Check urgency first. Fevers, allergies, bites, burns, cuts, bruises, sprains and strains go to 445 Richardson Road — open 8:00am–8:00pm daily, walk-ins welcome (Bettr / Local Doctors (booking platform)).
  2. If it’s routine, pick a practice. GP Central Stoddard (223 Stoddard Road) or Local Doctors Stoddard Road (20 Stoddard Road) both handle standard GP care, but neither is a weekday walk-in option (GP Central (clinic operator); Bettr / Local Doctors (booking platform)).
  3. Book before you go. Use Bettr’s online platform for the Local Doctors sites, or GP Central’s contact page for a weekday slot; save the Saturday walk-in at GP Central for 8:30am–1:00pm (Bettr / Local Doctors; GP Central).
  4. Check the calendar around holidays. GP Central Stoddard closes on public holidays, and its Saturday clinic skips Easter, Christmas, New Year Saturdays and Saturdays after Friday public holidays (GP Central (clinic operator)).

The logic: decide urgent versus routine first, and the right door becomes obvious. That single decision maps directly to the clinics’ booking models.

What’s confirmed — and what’s still unclear about Mt Roskill medical centres

Confirmed facts

What’s unclear

The gap: most of the confusion around “Mt Roskill Medical Centre” comes from the name itself — it’s used loosely for two or three different practices. Verify the address before you verify the hours.

What the clinics say about themselves

“Local Doctors Mt Roskill GP & Urgent Care accepts walk-ins and appointments seven days a week.”

— Bettr / Local Doctors clinic listing

“The Stoddard Road practice is appointment-only and not available for walk-ins.”

— Bettr / Local Doctors Stoddard Road listing

“GP Central Stoddard runs a Saturday walk-in clinic from 8:30am to 1:00pm, with no bookings.”

— GP Central contact page

“The Richardson Road clinic is open 8:00am to 8:00pm every day of the week.”

— White Cross clinic directory

What these statements add up to: the providers themselves advertise separate access models. Pick the clinic by its booking model and hours, not by the name on a search result.

Making the call

For anyone in Mt Roskill without a regular GP, the decision is clear: save 09 627 8552 for urgent or after-hours needs, book routine care at a Stoddard Road practice, and check GP Central’s calendar before counting on its Saturday clinic. The alternative is discovering at 5:30pm on a Sunday — fever, no appointment — that only one of the three doors was open, and it’s on Richardson Road.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mt Roskill Medical Centre open on public holidays?

GP Central Stoddard publishes a clear policy: it closes on public holidays, and its Saturday walk-in clinic doesn’t run on Easter, Christmas, New Year Saturdays or the Saturday after a Friday public holiday (GP Central (clinic operator)). The Richardson Road clinic’s holiday hours aren’t consistently published (White Cross (clinic directory)).

Does Mt Roskill Medical Centre offer flu vaccinations?

White Cross lists immunisation services at 445 Richardson Road, which covers vaccinations (White Cross (urgent-care network)). The two Stoddard Road practices don’t advertise vaccination details in the listings reviewed.

Can I get a blood test at Mt Roskill Medical Centre?

Blood tests aren’t explicitly listed in the directories reviewed. White Cross does list pharmacy and X-ray services at 445 Richardson Road, so calling 09 627 8552 is the fastest way to confirm what’s actually available on-site (White Cross (urgent-care network)).

Is there a pharmacy nearby?

White Cross’s directory lists pharmacy services at 445 Richardson Road (White Cross (clinic directory)), but the clinic’s own listing doesn’t always mention it. If you’re collecting a prescription, call 09 627 8552 first to confirm.

Do they accept ACC?

White Cross lists accident and injury treatment at 445 Richardson Road, the service that handles ACC claims (White Cross (urgent-care network)). The Stoddard Road practices don’t detail ACC services in the listings reviewed.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

The three practices don’t publish a standard first-visit checklist. As with any New Zealand GP, expect to provide your NHI details and a current medication list; confirming new-patient registration when you book is the safe move.
