Do you have an injury from work, home or sports?
Minor injuries are an everyday part of life, especially for busy, active Kiwis. Our unconditionally supportive staff are here to provide you with the injury treatment you need.
There are more than 2 million ACC injury claims each year in New Zealand.
- The most common type of injuries come from falling over, making up 29% of ACC claims

The most common injuries at work are caused by:

- trips and falls
- hitting or being hit by objects
Whether you’re struggling with a strain, a sprain, a cut or a fall, we’re here to help. We can assist you with treating your injury, as well as with the paperwork for injury at work claims.
Our supportive team of professionals can help you with emergency first aid, at work or in our clinic. We can treat most minor injuries, including muscle strains from lifting, cuts and splinters.
