Welcome to Child Health at Waitemata. We provide health care to babies, children and young people in the Waitemata area. Our services include care in the hospital, outpatient clinics, community and home-based services. Our team members have training and experience in caring for children.
Child Health at Waitemata provides care for children up to their 15th birthday, after which they become part of the adult healthcare services. However in some cases, a young person who has had a long relationship with the Child Health team may be cared for under our services until they transition to adult care. All new referrals for patients over 15 will be directed to adult services.
