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.

Midwifery
Our midwives provide whānau-centric care from pregnancy, labour, birth and the post-natal period. Walking alongside whānau, they provide:
- Pregnancy and maternity care
- Labour and birth support
- Postnatal care for māmā and pēpi
- Breastfeeding support
- Health education and guidance
- Emotional, practical and cultural support
- Referrals and connections to additional services where needed

Tamariki Ora
The Well Child Tamariki Ora programme consists of free health visits and support delivered by our nurses. Guided by Te Ao Māori values, our nurses specialise in providing in-home care for whānau. This service is available to all whānau and their children from the ages of 6 weeks up to 5 years. Their mahi covers:
- Regular health & development checks
- Feeding and nutrition support
- Growth monitoring
- Parenting support and guidance
- Sleep and settling advice
- Immunisations
- Early identification of concerns and referrals
- Health education and connections to community support

Immunisations
Our immunisation team supports whānau to protect their pēpi and tamariki through timely, gentle vaccinations and trusted, thorough health information. Our support includes:
- Routine childhood immunisations
- Catch-up immunisations
- Education and information to support informed choices
