GP Access - Wellington City - North - Tawa Medical Centre

Location: 1 Rewa Terrace, Tawa

The surgery is located at the end of a side road, which runs off the west side of main road in central Tawa. The road also provides access to commercial premises, and a dance school.

The corner site has three off street car-parks immediately adjacent to the surgery door for patients. None are designated for Mobility Parking Permit holders and users would have to back out onto a narrow street which at times would be busy with dance students and commercial vehicles.

Patients with a Mobility Parking Permit can park in the Doctor’s car-parks provided the receptionist is informed.

Access from the car-park to Reception

Access from the car-park is via the public footpath to a ramp leading to the surgery doors
There is a door-sill of 5cm at the end of the ramp
There is no handrail on this ramp but it needs to be noted that the length of the ramp and the incline is such that its absence would not pose a difficulty for a wheelchair user
The front doors are not electronic
