Visiting criteria at Middlemore Hospital at Alert Level 3
Public visiting at Middlemore Hospital and CM Health clinics will continue to be only for essential appointments or on compassionate grounds. Our priority is to keep our patients, whaanau and staff safe.
- Whaanau who want to visit a patient need to be from the patient’s own ‘bubble’, and have permission from the Charge Nurse Manager/Charge Midwife Manager.
- All visitors will be screened before they can enter, and no children under 15 years can visit at this time.
- Some of our specialist care units have further restrictions on visiting – please check with the Charge Nurse Manager.
- Arrangements can be made for a key support person to be there during labour and birth, for children in hospital, and support for those with special care needs.
For further information on the above, please visit our website: www.countiesmanukau.health.nz... or call our Customer Service team on 09 277 166.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
