The Well Child/Tamariki Ora programme is a series of health assessments and support services for children and their families from birth to five years. It also includes health promotion activities and is an important gateway for parents to access primary and specialist health care, education and social services. A review is currently under way to ensure the long-term sustainability of the programme.
The Well Child Tamariki Ora programme is free to all New Zealand families for children up to 5 years of age.
