Smales Farm is open!
While Northcross is currently out of action for urgent care matters, Smales Farm is still running business as usual.
Sadly we are finding that some patients are waiting to come in and see us but leaving certain health conditions can be detrimental to your health.
Please be assured that we have taken measures to ensure your safety and ours.
Firstly you will be assessed by our screening clinician at the door.
Following this, you will either be taken into a room straight away, popped in our waiting room which has been given a social distancing makeover, or even asked to return to your car.
We are only taking PayWave payments or are invoicing to be paid online. No cash.
We have installed perspex screens for our receptionists and our staff have PPE available to them.
So please if you find yourself in need of urgent medical or accident care, pop in and see us at Smales Farm.
We are open 24/7. No appointment necessary.
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
