Our local health service welcomes referrals from other Health Professionals and Agencies.

Referrals to Community Services

District Nursing, Day Rehabilitation, Occupational Therapy and Social Work.

All our community services and programmes accept referrals from health professionals, health agencies and patients themselves or their families; that’s because we know that everyone should be able to get help when they need it.

Please download the referral form located here, complete all relevant fields electronically and email to cta@chf.co.nz. This mailbox is monitored Monday to Friday.

If the referral is urgent, please contact the service directly to discuss the referral prior to sending the electronic form. Our staff may request a copy be sent directly to their service; our staff will advise upon receipt of your phone call. 

Contact details for our services can be found here.
