Accessing Plunket appointments will be more convenient for West Auckland whānau, with the opening of a new hub in the popular Westgate shopping centre.
The new premises replace the former Enterprise Drive location and features two spacious clinic rooms. Appointments for Well Child and B4 School Checks are now available to book, with a hearing and vision team available on select days for four-year-olds.
A dawn blessing ceremony marked the opening of the new Whānau Āwhina Plunket Westgate hub.

Clinical Services Manager Cynthia Keay says with ample three-hour parking onsite and the motorway close by, she hopes the hub’s new location in the shopping centre will be ideal for whānau.
“Westgate is a fast-growing area of Auckland, so it’s great to be able to support whānau in a modern space that is designed to meet their needs. The local team is very much looking forward to welcoming tamariki and their families through our doors. We are here and ready to provide health and wellbeing support.”
