We've heard some concerning news of kava gatherings happening in South Auckland during this COVID-19 lockdown.

One our doctor's Viliami Tutone has done a video in English and Tongan to explain why it's important not to hold kava gatherings to ensure we stop further spread of this serious virus. We must unite together to protect our family, our community, and to save lives.

It is still very important whaanau to get your flu vaccination in preparation for winter, and this can be done in a safe way.

If you are pregnant, over 65 years old, or an adult or child under four who has an on-going health issue, you can already get your FREE flu shot now!

But you must call your doctor’s clinic first and follow their instructions; they will take all the necessary steps to keep you safe. Call them now!

The flu vaccine does not protect against Covid-19; however it will help prevent Influenza, which is a serious illness.

Be watchful of broken glass on sidewalks

Mayur from Howick

Hey everyone, just a warning for everyone who walk their dogs on sidewalks or prefer to walk bare feet. Today my pup tried to swallow a broken glass piece while I was walking her on Elliot street. Could have been deadly, had I not intervened in time and got it out of her mouth. I cleared that area … View moreHey everyone, just a warning for everyone who walk their dogs on sidewalks or prefer to walk bare feet. Today my pup tried to swallow a broken glass piece while I was walking her on Elliot street. Could have been deadly, had I not intervened in time and got it out of her mouth. I cleared that area from all the broken glass but just a warning to be mindful.

Happy Easter!
