Plunket Mid-South Canterbury provides services for those living in the Mid-South Canterbury area, bordered by the Rakaia and Waitaki Rivers and the Southern Alps.
There are a total of 19 clinics and a Family Centre which is located in Timaru. Services are provided by eight Plunket nurses and four Karitane staff.
Many services are funded and coordinated by an active group of volunteers. These include PEPE parenting courses, coffee groups, toy libraries and car seat rental schemes. In addition a Post-natal Adjustment service is offered for women having challenges adjusting to being a new parent.
Plunket is governed by the Mid-South Canterbury Area Society, made up of representatives from local Plunket committees and the NZ Councillor.
