Zero Fees
In all practices children under 14 years old can get free health care visits.
B4 School Check
The B4 School Check is free for all four year olds and is the last of your child’s Well Child/Tamariki Ora health checks.
It is a chance to have your child’s health and development checked and is an opportunity for you to talk with a registered nurse about your child and ask about things important to you.
It’s a good idea for your child to have their B4 School Check soon after their fourth birthday, as that leaves enough time to follow up if needed before they start school.
