Medical Help & Support

Contact the HPV Helpline

We run a tollfree Helplne to speak to an experienced, non-judgemental nurse counsellor: 0508 11 12 13 from a landline or 09 433 6526 from a mobile. We also respond to email queries via info@stief.org.nz.

All calls and emails are kept completely confidential.

Please note our Helpline is for Aotearoa New Zealand residents only.

Our Helpline is open from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday (closed weekends and bank holidays). If you do not reach us, you can either try again later, or leave us a message with your first name only, number and when you'd like us to try and call you back.

Email enquiries will be responded to within 5 working days. Occasionally, our team will need to consult with other experts regarding your enquiry which may delay our response - if this is the case, we will let you know.

If you need urgent wellbeing support and our team is not available, you can find a list of alternative helplines here.

What if I can't call during your opening times?

If its not possible to ring during our opening hours, it may be possible to arrange a phone call out of hours. To do so, you can call us and leave us a message, using your first name only, your number, and when you would like us to try and call you back. Alternatively, you can send us an email via info@stief.org.nz.

Sexual health services

If you think you might have genital warts, need to book cervical screening or find out about the HPV vaccine, you can contact your GP, sexual health clinic or other health care provider. Sexual health clinics provide a specialist, confidential, free or low-cost service.
