1. Specialists within the Public System: You need a referral from your GP to see Allergy Specialists operating in the public system. Referrals will be made as per local pathways. There may be waiting times but all referrals should be acknowledged by the hospital concerned.
2. Allergy Specialists/Clinics in Private Practice: These specialists and clinics may be accessed directly but although you may not need a GP referral, it is often valuable to have your GP write a referral letter and send it through prior to your appointment. This can save valuable (and costly) time during your consultation. You can download the contact list here or refer to the list below: Allergy Specialists, Clinics and Services in New Zealand
Public Health: Referral procedures in general are from a General Practitioner, an ED or other specialist (patients cannot self-refer) i) Paediatrics: · Refer to the Paediatric Department (generally outpatients) at the local DHB. ii) Adults: · Immunology/allergy services are located at Auckland City (ADHB), Wellington (CCDHB) and Christchurch (CDHB) Hospitals. Other DHBs may allow patients to be referred to these specialist services by GPs or through a specialist e.g. respiratory or physician at the patient’s local hospital.
Private Practice: Patients can self-refer and/or be referred by their General Practitioner.
