Tamariki Ora Service

The main objective of the Well Child/Tamariki Ora Framework is to support families/whānau to maximise their child's developmental potential and health status from birth to five years, establishing a strong foundation for ongoing health development.

The Well Child/Tamariki Ora Framework covers screening, education and support services offered free to all New Zealand children from birth to five years, and their families/whānau. Well Child services include health education and promotion, health protection and clinical assessment, and family/whānau support. The services also ensure that parents are linked to other early childhood services such as Early Childhood Education and social support services, if required.
