☀️🌊🔥 Stay Safe This Summer!
Simple steps to protect you and your whānau these holidays.

☀️ Sun safety:
Slip, slop, slap, wrap — and stay cool and hydrated in the heat.

🌊 Water safety:
Keep the whānau safe in and around the moana. Watch tamariki, swim between the flags, and use life jackets on the water.

🔥 Fire safety:
It’s a dry season. Keep BBQs and candles clear, and check your smoke alarms are working.

Let’s look out for each other and enjoy a safe, relaxing summer. 💛

Heading away this summer? ☀️✈️

Measles is fast-spreading — but protection is simple.

Before your summer plans kick off, make sure you and the whānau are covered.

Check your MMR vaccination status with your GP or local health provider and travel with confidence. 💛

This morning, we celebrated the blessing and opening of the revitalised Ora Toa Waitangirua Medical Centre, located next to the original site. It was lovely to see familiar faces from the old health centre join us for this special occasion.

A huge thank you to all our local tradies and partners whose hard work and craftsmanship brought this centre to life. This is a true community effort we can all be proud of.

“Waitangirua is the heart of Porirua, our community deserves access to quality health services and shouldn’t have to travel for it,” says Jennie Smeaton, Deputy Tumuaki, Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira.

We look forward to welcoming all our current patients and whānau into the new space and continuing our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of those within in our rohe.

✨PORIRUA ASTHMA SERVICE - CELEBRATING 25 YEARS ✨

This month, we celebrate 25 years of the Porirua Asthma Service – a kaupapa grounded in commitment, community, and care.

Launched in 2000, as a partnership between Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira (TROTR) and WIPA (now Tū Ora Compass Health), the service is now proudly delivered under Ora Toa Community Health Services.

As we honour the years of impact and advocacy, we look ahead to a future where respiratory health is equitable, accessible, and guided by tikanga Māori.

He taonga te hauora – health is our treasure. Here’s to the next 25 years! Read the full pānui here: https://www.oratoa.co.nz/panui/porirua-asthma-service-celebrating-25-years-of-service

Jason Ryder, one of our long-standing kaimahi, has dedicated nearly 30 years to supporting tamariki and rangatahi in Porirua through AoD education and harm reduction. He leads Waitech, a 10-week kaupapa that uses waka ama as a vehicle to weave together tikanga, Mauriora, and AoD awareness, strengthening wellbeing and empowering rangatahi to make healthy choices.

Recently, Jason was recognised at the '2025 Cutting Edge Conference' with a national award for Excellence in Addiction Practice for his work with rangatahi, a well-deserved acknowledgement of his decades of dedication.

Guided by the values of pono, tika, and aroha, Jason is a familiar face across our communities, introducing many to waka ama through the programme and his active involvement in the waka community.

Kia ora mō tēnā Jason ♥
