What we do » Our organisation » Area teams » West Coast
The West Coast is a unique and large geographical region, and West Coast Plunket is supporting the current baby boom with three Plunket nurses, two Community Karitane and other supporting Plunket staff.
All services, like car seat rentals and parenting courses, are supported by Plunket volunteers.
Plunket in the region is governed by the West Coast Area Society, made up of representatives from local Plunket committees, along with the NZ Councilor, while a Māori Caucus supports the delivery of services to Māori clients.
West Coast services include Plunket nursing, Community Karitane, home visits and clinics, child car-seat hire, parenting courses and parent support groups.
