Map markers indicate approximate regional centres, not official regional boundaries or provider locations. Basemap data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Support for families, whānau and carers

Doctors, clinical care and accessible services
For non-urgent medical concerns, contact a GP or local health service. Mental health assessments and specialist care may require referral. Ask about appointment costs, referrals, interpreters, communication adjustments and telehealth. This directory provides pathways; it does not claim that every individual provider is listed or verified here.
Using the North Island directory
Do I have to use the map? No. All nine region buttons and regional cards offer alternatives. Can I look for someone else? Yes — select an audience or browse family/carer routes. What if a link does not lead to a local directory? Some regional links open an Aspie Answers site search until that specific page address is confirmed. What if I need help right now? Use 111 for immediate danger and the NZ crisis directory for local crisis services.
Service details and crisis phone numbers may change. Confirm urgent contacts with official providers before relying on them. This page is informational and does not replace medical, legal or emergency advice.
