Awanui Labs - Frankton

Awanui Labs in Frankton is a medical collection centre providing diagnostic laboratory services to Queenstown residents, visitors, and the wider region. Situated in the Frankton Village Collection Centre on Gray Street, it handles blood tests, specimen collection, and other pathology requests that feed into the broader Awanui Labs network — one of New Zealand's largest diagnostic laboratory providers. Whether you're a local managing an ongoing health condition, a visitor who needs urgent testing, or someone following up on a referral from a Queenstown GP, this is the practical, no-fuss option on the flat side of town near the Frankton roundabout.

Frankton's location makes it genuinely convenient — close to the airport, easy to reach from Jacks Point, Kelvin Heights, and the main Queenstown basin without fighting the hill traffic. The centre operates as a collection point rather than a full walk-in clinic, so you'll typically need a referral or lab request form from your doctor before arriving. For travellers who've picked up something unexpected on a ski trip to Coronet Peak or an adventure on the Shotover River, having a reliable pathology service this accessible is worth knowing about. Check the Awanui Labs website for current hours, appointment options, and what to bring before you visit.
