Whānau visiting Auckland City Mission's health centre will now have access to an online GP service.
A new collaboration with ProCare and Southern Cross Health Insurance means the health centre can now triage cases onsite.
Alongside the centre's nursing team, CareHQ's online GPs remotely engage with patients to deliver a "whānau-centric approach", ProCare said Thursday.
Many of the centre's clients face complex issues such as homelessness, mental health concerns and substance abuse disorders.
