The Plunket vision, Mā te mahi ngātahi e pūawai ai ā tātou tamariki articulates Plunket’s intention to work alongside whānau so that all children are nurtured and can blossom.
The Plunket Whānau Āwhina Whānau Ora Policy 2007-2017 demonstrates Plunket's commitment and vision through 3 key policy areas:
1. Advocacy for tamariki Māori, with whānau and Māori communities
2. Integrated Māori capacity and capability within the organisation
3. Engaging and connecting with whānau and Māori communities
The policy supports 3 Treaty of Waitangi principles- partnership, protection and participation.

• Plunket marae protocol, karakia and waiata booklet
• Māori consultation policy and guidelines
• tikanga best practices policy
• koha policy and guidelines
• Māori macrons policy and guidelines
