Can I Choose Who Will Carry Out My Child's Well Child Tamariki Ora Care?

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/caregivers to care for their babies and preschool children. The nurse may be employed by 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 be seen by a general practice for a Well Child assessment.
