Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health Checks – Birth to Three Years

All New Zealand children are entitled to 11 free health checks from birth to three years. Before 6 weeks of age the check ups are offered by your lead maternity carer - LMC & Plunket. At 6 weeks of age the child undergoes assessment by your GP & 6 week immunisation is carried out if all is well. This is followed by other vaccinations as per ministry of health guidelines. All childhood immunisations are free to the child. More information about Well Child services is available on the Ministry of Health website.
