The Government commissioned a review of Well Child Tamariki Ora in late 2018 in response to concerns about equity of access, outcomes for tamariki and whānau, and the financial sustainability of the programme.
The Review was carried out during 2019/20 with input from Māori, DHBs, Well Child Tamariki Ora providers and Government agencies. A report on the Review was considered by the Government in April 2021.
