NZNO nurses’ strikes planned for 2 and 4 September 2025
Nurses at Health NZ public hospitals and health services plan to strike from 7am to 11pm on both Tuesday 2 September and Thursday 4 September. Emergency departments will be open for emergencies only.
GPs, after-hours and urgent care clinics, and other community health providers are not affected by the strikes and will continue to operate as normal.
If you cannot wait to see your usual doctor, nurse or healthcare provider, or you do not have one, go to an after hours or urgent care medical centre. They can help you with things like bad cuts, sprains or breaks, minor head injuries, or if you are feeling really sick. You do not need an appointment but might have to wait.
Ka Ora Telecare is an after-hours video and over-the-phone health service for people living in or visiting rural communities. It is free to speak to a nurse. All appointments are free for tamariki under 14 years old.
Let us know if you have a change in your health that has required medical attention or hospitalisation since your appointment with the surgeon or have any of the following symptoms within 3 days of your operation:
fevers or temperatures
runny poos (diarrhoea) or throwing up (vomiting)
infected wounds.
You can request your health records, those of a dependant (16 years or under) or someone in your whānau, from the Clinical Records service. If the request is for someone over 16, you need to include that person's consent in writing.
The request must be in writing and include the completed release of information form or the following information.
Patient first name and surname.
Patient date of birth.
Patient NHI number (if known).
Specific details of the information you require including dates of hospital admissions.
Page two of the release of information form has tips on completing the form. You can contact the release of information team if you need help completing the form or have any questions.
The release of information team are available from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
