Living rurally doesn’t mean doing it on your own. Whether you need a Well Child appointment, support with feeding or sleep, or just someone to talk to, Plunket’s here – wherever you are.
Call PlunketLine 24/7 on 0800 933 922, book a virtual clinic, or browse this website to access a wealth of online tools and info anytime.
Off the beaten track?
No clinic nearby? No problem. Plunket supports rural whānau by travelling into communities, as well as offering virtual support when it suits.
From growth and development assessments to Well Child Tamariki Ora checks to feeding and sleep support, we’re here to help.
Wraparound support
Did you know Plunket groups are running in many rural communities across Aotearoa?
Our parent groups, play groups and coffee groups offer relaxed, friendly spaces where whānau can connect, talk, and feel supported.
Rural life is 24/7. So are we.
When you're raising tamariki in a rural area, the days can sometimes be long, unpredictable, and isolating, especially when support feels far away.
PlunketLine is here 24/7, so whether you’ve got a question, need reassurance, or just want to talk something through – we’re here.
Video support at your fingertips
Living rurally can make it hard to access the support you need, especially when it comes to breastfeeding or sleep.
That’s why Plunket offers online consults with trained nurses and lactation consultants, so you can get one–on–one support without leaving home.
No travel, no waiting rooms, just practical, trusted advice that fits around your life.
