Welcome to Heart Children New Zealand
Heart Children New Zealand - here to help
At Heart Children New Zealand we truly understand the ups and downs of childhood heart disease. We're here to help from the time you find out your baby is a heart child, supporting you, your child, your family, along your heart journey from childhood into adulthood and beyond.
We can help with practical issues, emotional support, advice, advocacy, education, information, specialised equipment and friendship, at Auckland's Heart Ward and at home.
If you need support, someone to talk to, more information, please call
0800 543 943.
Heart Children NZ has been supporting children and families for over 26 years. Our work is funded solely by voluntary donations.

Heart Jam - can you feel the sound of your heart beating?On Friday 28 May 59,000 school children took part in Heart Children NZ's Heart Jam, NZ's largest aerobics class. Our thanks to JUMP JAM's Brett Fairweather and to local band Minuit who wrote 'It's the sound of your heart beating' specifically for Heart Jam. A BIG thank you to the schools and children, around New Zealand, who jumped and jammed to help heart children. Didn't take part? Don't worry Heart Jam is available anytime of the year.
