Family Health

It's vital to support the health of your entire family unit. We assist everyone from new born babies through to the end of life. We provide services which specifically support mums, dads and other carers.

Our family health services protect and support your wellbeing.

Naturally we're here if any of your whānau are unwell. We have support available for mental health, physical health, and other social needs.

Enrolled children under 14 are eligible for FREE weekday GP services.

How we can help your family?

Whether you're about to start your family or you've just moved into the area, we have a wide range of convenient services.

Starting a family

If you are trying to have a baby or even just thinking about it, it is important to start getting ready for pregnancy.

Preconception health care focuses on things you can do before (and between) pregnancies to increase the chances of having a healthy baby.

Our nurses and doctors will speak with you about important factors like:

Medical conditions / medication
Lifestyle and behaviour
Vaccinations

Once you are pregnant can help you find a midwife. We can work with your midwife during your pregnancy and offer care for your entire whānau. We want you to have the best possible experience. Come and talk with one of our team.

Child immunisation is FREE

Immunisation protects you and your children from serious diseases throughout life. The Ministry of Health supports immunisation.

If you have questions about immunisation contact our nursing team.

The New Zealand National Immunisation Schedule is a series of immunisations (including boosters) given at specific times for children between the ages of six weeks and twelve years, and adults at 45 and 65. To get the best possible protection, have the immunisations on time, every time.

Immunisation is FREE for children under 12 years or as advised by the vaccination schedule. Make an appointment today to have your child's vaccines completed.
