Riccarton Clinic and After Hours Medical Centre, at Church Corner on Yaldhurst Road, gives Upper Riccarton families urgent care and booked GP appointments from 8am to 8pm every day, including public holidays.
What Riccarton Clinic and After Hours Medical Centre offers local families
The Church Corner building is the clinic’s main site, home to its urgent care, walk-in service, with many booked appointments also seen here. Families do not need to be enrolled with the practice to use the walk-in urgent care service, useful for a sudden illness or minor injury outside standard GP hours. Co-located at the same site are a pharmacy, x-ray facility, physiotherapist, podiatrist, audiologist and dentist, meaning a family can often manage several different health needs during a single visit to the same building rather than travelling between separate providers.
A second location on Brake Street offers GP and nurse appointments only, without walk-in urgent care, operating from a tastefully converted mid-century house with a more traditional, homely feel. Families preferring a calmer, appointment-only setting for routine care often choose this site over the busier Church Corner building.
Visiting Riccarton Clinic and After Hours Medical Centre
The Church Corner site operates 8am to 8pm, seven days a week including Christmas Day, while Brake Street operates 9am to 5pm across five days with on-site parking. Families are asked not to use the practice’s contact form to request an appointment or repeat prescription, with online services available instead for these requests.

Families managing several different appointments across a household, such as a GP visit, a physiotherapy session and a dental check, often find the Church Corner site’s co-located services save considerable time compared with visiting separate providers across the city.
Given the clinic’s own long opening hours, it also suits families needing care outside a standard working day, such as evenings or weekends, without needing to rely solely on a hospital emergency department for non-critical issues.
