🌱 Kia ora e te whānau 🌱

Our Whānau Voice kaimahi spent two days kanohi ki te kanohi with whānau at the Tainui Waka Kapa Haka Festival last week.

🫶 We listened to whānau whakaaro about what is working on the ground, what it really takes to keep the whole whānau well, and the barriers they are facing to access healthcare in our rohe.

Across both days, whānau were clear about where the system is falling short. Thank you to everyone who took the time to kōrero with us. We will continue to gather and uplift these voices to decision-makers, ensuring they are heard loud and clear.

🗣️ Kia ora e te whānau 🗣️

We asked Chiefs fans at the game one simple thing 👇

What can the government do better for Māori and Pacific health?

And closer to home…

What are your biggest whānau health concerns right now?

Real answers. Real whakaaro. From our people.

Featuring All Blacks Wallace Satiti sharing his whakaaro too.

✨ Kia ora e te whānau ✨

Our local Māori health providers and Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency came to our quarterly hui this week 🌱

They are doing incredible mahi every day to support our people ❤️

Unfortunately, the system is not keeping up.

The gap between what is supported and what is needed on the ground is being felt where it matters most.

🌿 Kia ora e te whānau 🌿

The barriers to health access are real… but so are the solutions.
Whānau in Te Kūiti are already leading their own hauora, supporting each other day to day and stepping up where systems fall short.

The foundations are already there. What’s needed now is awhi to scale what works. How do you live your tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake in hauora? Tell us your whakaaro.

🌿 Kia ora e te whānau 🌿

Everything we do starts and ends with you.

Your kōrero, your experiences, your realities are what guide our mahi, from the way we listen, to how we advocate, to how we hold the system to account.

This is what our Board are focusing on in 2026. Grounded in whānau voice. Driven by what matters most.

💛🏆 Hauraki Games return to Paeroa 🏆🌿

We were proud to attend this event at the weekend, for a powerful event of oranga, manaakitanga and whanaungatanga, bringing marae, iwi and whānau together.

This was the first Hauraki Games since COVID, and it was incredible to see 20 marae and more than 2,500 whānau show up and deepen connections through netball, touch, lawn bowls, tug-of-war and euchre at Te Puru o Te Rangi.

💙 Cultural safety matters! 💙

Our Te Tiratū Iwi Māori Partnership Board member, Dr Mataroria Lyndon, has made a submission to the Medical Council of New Zealand on cultural competence, cultural safety, and hauora Māori.

We’re calling for:
✨ Te Tiriti-led care & real power shifts
✨ System-wide responsibility, not just individual doctors
✨ Whānau experiences at the centre
✨ Accountable outcomes, not just intentions

We’re taking your voice where decisions are made because cultural safety matters!

✨ Kia ora e te whānau ✨

It’s never too late to turn your health around 💛

Maria had a lot going on but with the support of kaimahi Walter from local provider, Te Kōhao Health (tag), she’s taken powerful steps toward a healthier future. Tau kē kōrua!

Because the reality is this, whanau are 1.5 times more likely to be hospitalised for cardiovascular disease than non-Māori and twice as likely to die from it.

That’s why small, everyday changes can make a big difference for you and your whānau.

Looking after your heart can start simple:
🚶‍♀️ Move your body each day, even a short walk around the block counts
🥗 Choose healthier kai where you can
🚭 Cut back or stop smoking, support is available
💧 Build habits that keep you active, not sedentary

Every step you take is a step toward stronger hauora for you and for your whānau.

✨ Hauraki Games in Paeroa! ✨

What a day of oranga, manaakitanga, and whanaungatanga! We were there to tautoko our marae and iwi, playing alongside rangatahi and tamariki, and celebrating whānau, culture, and community spirit 💛

First Hauraki Games since COVID, with 20 marae and 2,500 whānau enjoying netball, touch, lawn bowls, tug-of-war, and euchre. A full day of fun, connection, and Hauraki pride at Te Puru o Te Rangi! 💛
