Our goal is to support pēpi and whānau in ways that work best for you: responding to your needs and respecting your choices. Every parenting journey is unique, and no one knows their child as well as you do!

That's why we welcome and value your feedback - it helps us improve our mahi. So, whether it’s a compliment or a complaint, we want to know. 💬

If you don't receive our Whānau Voice survey, but want to share your feedback, we encourage you to fill out the form on our website: www.plunket.org.nz/plunket/your-appointments-what-to-expect/plunket-visits-and-your-rights/ -a-complaint
