Maternity & Early Years Support

Our Tukutuku team specialises in maternity and early years healthcare. From midwifery and childhood immunisations to Well Child Tamariki Ora services, Tukutuku clinicians provide in-home, wrap-around support for all mātua and tamariki across Tāmaki Makaurau. Grounded in the Pā Harakeke Model, our goal is to ensure whānau feel supported, connected and empowered throughout their journey — because when whānau thrive, mokopuna thrive.
