Alert Level 4 - Auckland
Under Level 4 and 3, all in-person services are suspended.
While our Whānau Āwhina Plunket clinics, offices and other sites are all closed under Level 4 and 3, nearly all of our people can work from home and are using virtual tools to stay connected both with each other and our communities. We are focusing in particular on our clients with the greatest need and continuing to take referrals from midwives for new babies. Services such as parenting programmes and community groups are being delivered virtually where we can.
Our PlunketLine nurses are available 24/7 on 0800 933 922 to provide free support and advice to all families, whānau and caregivers. If you have any parenting concerns, please give us a call and we’ll make sure you get the support you need.
