Haven Financial Advisers joins forces with Plunket to support Kiwi families

Haven Financial Advisers has announced a new partnership with Whānau Āwhina Plunket, reaffirming its mission to help New Zealand families build stronger financial foundations.

Through this collaboration, Plunket families can access free financial wellbeing checks with a Haven adviser. These sessions will cover insurance, KiwiSaver, and mortgages, helping families make informed decisions about their financial future.

This initiative comes as 55% of Kiwis report frequent money worries, and just 44% feel prepared for retirement, according to the FSC’s 2025 Financial Resilience Index.

Free financial tools and support for growing families

In addition to the financial check-ups, Plunket families will receive a free will kit, enabling them to plan ahead and ensure their loved ones are cared for according to their wishes.

Each family will also receive a Haven growth chart in their Plunket new baby bag — a keepsake designed to celebrate their child’s milestones while reinforcing Haven’s family-focused support.

Shared mission to empower whānau nationwide

Richard Clarke (pictured), head of advice and distribution at Haven Financial Advisers, said the partnership was a natural fit for both organisations.

“Partnering with Whānau Āwhina Plunket is a perfect fit for Haven, we both share a commitment to supporting families across New Zealand,” Clarke said.

Financial advice can make a meaningful difference, helping families feel more confident and secure about their future. We’re proud to be making financial advice more accessible.”

Plunket embraces holistic family support

Whānau Āwhina Plunket also praised the initiative and its potential impact on the families it serves.

“We’re really looking forward to working together to help families access financial advice and build brighter futures,” said Fiona Kingsford, CEO at Whānau Āwhina Plunket.

“Financial wellbeing is an important part of a family’s overall health, and this partnership will help families feel more supported during some of the most important stages of their lives.”

Stronger together: Supporting families across New Zealand

Plunket is New Zealand’s largest provider of health and wellbeing services for children under five and their whānau, with a trusted network of support across the country. This partnership with Haven strengthens both organisations’ shared commitment to helping families not just survive but thrive.
