We help rural and regional whānau access trusted information, specialist maternity services, and essential appointments – reducing barriers of distance, cost, and access.
We provide real-world, practical support that strengthens local maternity care and helps minimise preventable negative birthing outcomes.
We back evidence-based initiatives – including our online directory – connecting expectant parents to accommodation, travel support, and maternity health services.
We work across the health, community, and government sectors to improve coordination and equity, and to advocate for improved outcomes for rural and remote families.
Our vision is that every child, regardless of where they live in Aotearoa New Zealand, enters the world with the best possible chance of survival and wellbeing, supported by fair access to timely and essential health care.
