Well Child Tamariki Ora providers

You can choose who will carry out your child's Well Child Tamariki Ora care.

Check the Health Information and Services website (Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand) for a listing of Well Child Tamariki Ora providers.

A Well Child provider is usually a nurse who has had extra training in supporting parents and caregivers to care for their pēpi (babies) and preschool tamariki (children). The nurse can be from a range of organisations including:

  • Plunket
  • a Māori Well Child Tamariki Ora provider
  • a Pacific Well Child Tamariki Ora provider
  • a general practice team
  • a public health service

There may also be times when you and your baby will see a general practice for a Well Child assessment.
