Take a look at the video, you’ll see our clients love the community house option. It’s not hard to get started, talk to us and your treatment provider.
Community dialysis
Flexible, independent dialysis — your home away from home.
Having dialysis treatment at home gives you more control over your schedule and your life.
However, for some, having a machine at home isn’t possible. That’s why the Kidney Society offers a great alternative: dialysis in a comfortable “home away from home.” In partnership with Middlemore Hospital, we provide three community dialysis houses conveniently located across South Auckland.
Private Dialysis
If you're visiting New Zealand and need private dialysis services, please contact us and we will share details for private dialysis providers.
Is there a cost?
There is no cost to receive support from the Kidney Society, and all of our services are free.
Do I need a referral?
Those with end-stage kidney failure can self-refer by phoning us on 09 278 1321 or emailing us at referral@kidneysociety.org.nz. Other people can also refer on your behalf for example, a GP or a member of your renal team.
The process
Our team is available to call Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm and will provide you with the guidance you need whether it’s information, resources or contacts for other support organisations. Call us on 09 278 1321 or 0800 235 711
If you want to speak to someone about your kidney condition in person, our experienced and knowledgeable team can visit you in your home.
"It’s nice knowing that the people around you are having a shared experience - we’re all on dialysis, and we get to learn from each other."
