The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street in 1992, by order of first appearance.

Marj Neilson was the clinic's first receptionist and was portrayed by Elizabeth McRae. A religious busy body and gossip, Marj became a staple and iconic of the show, being the shows original matriarch and leader of the Neilson family unit. She stayed on the show until 1996 and still remains one of the most iconic characters, returning for several guest stints.

Tom Leslie Neilson was the husband of Marj and the show's original paramedic. Tom stayed on the show for a year and his story lines covered illness and the hugely famous missing person scenario where Tom left his family and went into hiding, then later died of a heartattack

Sam Aleni was the Samoan paramedic who appeared on the show for 4 years. The casting of Sam proved groundbreaking, placing a Polynesian in the occupation of paramedic, with there being only one real life case in New Zealand. Rene Naufahu portrayed Sam, with his younger brother Joe Naufahu playing Sam's brother Nat.

Lisa Stanton was the teenage girl who gave birth in the show's first ever episode. Originally thought to be the celibate Stuart's (Martin Henderson) lover, it soon turned out Lisa's baby daughter was really Stuart's married brother - Darryl's (Mark Ferguson).

Stuart Neilson was the teenage son of Marj and Tom who went from being a shy devout Catholic, to a sturdy business man. The character was portrayed by Martin Henderson from the first episode up until early 1995.

Carrie Connelly (née Burton) was the strict director of nursing, played by Lisa Crittenden. She was part of the original cast and appeared from the first episode up until November the following year.

In 1992 Carrie was accused of helping Sam's (Rene Naufahu) cousin to die and was arrested but not charged. The stress of the accusation led Carrie to date hospital CEO - Michael (Paul Gittins). The relationship didn't last and Carrie briefly dated a builder through the new year. Desperate to have children, Carrie decided to get a colleague to donate his sperm and accepted samples from Chris (Michael Galvin), Steve (Andrew Binns), Hone Ropata (Temuera Morrison) and Guy (Craig Parker). Carrie fell pregnant and started to date Steve's mysterious father - Declan (Kevin J. Wilson). The two married in Las Vegas and bought the local bar in Carrie's name. Carrie gave birth to triplets in September but received little support from Declan and ended up relying on Steve. The two eventually admitted their mutual feelings following the revelation Declan was a criminal. However blackmail from Declan's dodgey associates made Carrie flee to Australia with her three children after one final kiss with Steve. In November 1995, Chris visited Carrie and the triplets so that he could introduce his father Bruce (Ken Blackburn) to them before he died.
