We are also dedicated to building the confidence and knowledge of families across New Zealand, and making sure none are left isolated, disconnected or unable to cope. Our Plunket Nurses offer parenting information and support, as well as developmental assessments of your child through home and clinic visits, mobile clinics and PlunketLine 0800 933 922 (a free 24/7 telephone advice service for parents).
