Waikato Family Centre Trust
About the Business
Welcome to the Waikato Family Centre Trust, located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our establishment is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to families and whānau in the community and greater Waikato region who are facing challenges with their babies and children under two years old.
At the Waikato Family Centre, our team of registered nurses offers a non-judgemental approach to support, guidance, and education. We understand that parenting can be overwhelming, and our health professionals are here to provide practical advice and assistance to families who may be experiencing difficulties.
Thanks to the generosity of our funders and donors, we are able to offer our services free of charge. Families and whānau have the option to spend the day at our centre or schedule a one-hour consultation with an experienced registered nurse.
We also host various events to support fathers, such as our Dads Evening with guest speakers, aimed at encouraging dads to connect, seek support, and share their experiences. Additionally, we offer Women's Wellness events, coached by registered health professionals, to support the well-being of mothers. Please check our Events page for more details.
For families and whānau dealing with perinatal mental health issues, we provide appointments with a Perinatal Clinical Nurse Specialist and an ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) counselor. We understand that coping with a young baby can sometimes be difficult, lonely, and stressful, and we are here to help.
All of the services offered by the Waikato Family Centre are completely free and available to any family or whānau in the community and greater Waikato region with a child under 24 months of age. Families can self-refer by contacting us via phone or email. Referrals can also come from sources such as your GP, Plunket Nurse, Midwife, Perinatal Mental Health, or Mothercraft.
We are dedicated to supporting you and your baby during this important stage of life. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.

Reviews
"Awesome place, super helpful and knowledgeable ladies who work there, non judgement and a safe space for parents and babies"
"This service is amazing (still can’t believe it’s free!). Jo and her team are knowledgeable and compassionate, they have helped me learn so much about my 3 week old baby in a safe and supportive space. Couldn’t recommend more to any parent!"
"I don't know where to begin. Family center saved my life. When I first arrived, I was a broken shell of a person. The angels in nurse outfits really care and gave me the support I needed. Although I still have a long road ahead of me, to know that I can go to family center any day, is comforting. They gave me the tools to cope and referred me to more support."
"Absolutely amazing place! Fantastic service for parents with children under 2 years old. The staff have so much experience and are very helpful and kind, just the absolute best place ever!"
