General Practice (GPs)
A network of 40 general practitioners working through 19 GP practices forms the backbone of primary health care throughout the South Canterbury region. It is important to be enrolled with a local GP, not only is it cheaper than paying casual rates, but your GP gets to know you best and can provide you with the care or referrals you need to be well.
| All South Canterbury practices are offering lower cost fees for Community South Canterbury (CSC) holders |

| For appointments during normal business hours for enrolled patients, CSC holders 18 years and over will pay only $19.50, with 14 to 17 year old dependents of CSC holders paying only $13.00, effective 1 July 2020. Enrolled 13 year olds will now be free, including after-hours care. |
Not all GPs have spaces available for new enrolments but our friendly team can help coordinate the best GP options available for you: 03 687 2307.
