Medinz – Awanui Labs Auckland – Festive Season Opening Hours
| In case you missed the Medinz Message re Awanui Labs Festive Season Opening Hours: To accommodate the reduced demand during the holiday season and to support staff, Awanui Labs have adjusted the operating hours for collection centres. During the December holidays, some centres will operate with reduced hours or may temporarily close. Specific details are available (by district) on the Awanui Labs website. From 1 January to 1 February 2026, most centres will operate under summer hours, opening from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays at selected locations. Normal hours will resume across all centres on Monday, 2 February 2026. Over the holiday period, our courier schedule will be slightly adjusted. Between Monday, 22 December and Sunday, 4 January, your driver may arrive at a different time than usual. Please keep an eye out for pickups that may occur earlier or later than normal. Regular courier operations will resume on Monday, 5 January. Thank you for your understanding as Awanui Labs implement these changes to align with seasonal demand. |

As we close out 2025, the Auckland PHO team would like to acknowledge your continued dedication to Infection Prevention and Control (IPC).

Auckland PHO remains committed to supporting you with practical guidance, tools, and resources, including alignment with Auckland Region HealthPathways, national standards, and the latest clinical updates, as we move into 2026. |
