Planned ASMS senior doctors' strike — Thursday 1 May, 24 hours
Patient safety is our priority. Our hospitals and emergency departments will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments on the day of the strike unless we have contacted you to reschedule.
There are a range of mental health and addiction services available in Rotorua, Taupō and surrounding areas. We can provide specialist assessment, intervention and support for people of all ages who are experiencing mental illness or addiction issues.
Mental health services at Rotorua Hospital are on Pukeroa Street — across the road from the main entrance to the hospital.
The service at Taupō Hospital is on Kotare Street — on the right just after you enter the hospital grounds.
Many of our services are offered outside hospital in the community. We will tell you where to go once you have an appointment.
Mental health services are available throughout the district in Rotorua, Taupō and in satellite clinics in Tūrangi and Mangakino.
Staff aim to first treat people in the community, but can admit you to the inpatient facility Whare Whakaue at Rotorua Hospital if needed.
There are range of mental health services available depending on your age and needs.
The consumer and whānau advisory service at Rotorua Hospital advocates for people using mental health and addictions services.
Service users and their whānau can provide feedback on their experience to our advisors. This helps us to ensure a high quality mental health service that meets people's needs.
The consumer advisor runs a consumer advisory group to make sure people with lived experience of mental health problems or addiction are involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of mental health and addiction services.
It also aims to improve service users’ knowledge of their rights and expectations of mental health and addiction services in the region.

Mental health and addiction services work best when they include whānau and provide access to services that support their wellbeing.
The whānau advisor actively promotes input from whānau into mental health and addiction services. They work to ensure whānau are included, consulted and supported at every step of a person’s mental health or addiction journey.
