Public Transport
Middlemore Hospital has an accessible train station with an elevator. It is approximately 10 minutes to walk along the rainbow corridor from the station to the physiotherapy department.
Parking
There is parking available outside of the physiotherapy department. You will need a yellow slip from reception to place in your wind screen prior to your appointment. This is not paid parking. A parking payment machine is accessible within the hospital.
Other
Tele-health:
We are providing tele-health (Zoom and telephone call) appointments to patients who cannot attend their appointment in-person. Tele-health appointments can save you time and money (on parking and petrol) whilst still receiving care from your physiotherapist. Please be aware that tele-health may not be suitable for all patients and your physiotherapist can discuss this with you.
If you would like your first appointment to be over Zoom/a telephone call, please discuss this with the administrator when they arrange your appointment.
To get the most out of your telehealth appointment, please make sure you are in a quiet space with little disruptions. Ensure your device has sufficient battery and that you are wearing clothing which allows you to freely move in case this is part of your assessment.
