Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira Announces New Role in Whānau Ora Commissioning

Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira is honoured to announce our new role in the commissioning space for Whānau Ora, delivering vital services across Te Ūpoko o Te Ika, Manawatū-Whanganui, Taranaki, Heretaunga, Tairāwhiti, and Waiariki (Region 2).

We are excited to partner with Te Puni Kōkiri and our extensive provider network to continue empowering whānau and communities to achieve their aspirations, whatever those may be.

As a long-standing Whānau Ora provider, we bring with us a wealth of knowledge and experience, alongside a deep respect for the legacy set by Kahurangi Tariana Turia and other trailblazers in this space. We are committed to honouring their vision and building on the foundation they have laid, as we embark on this next phase.

Looking ahead, we remain excited about the opportunity to play a pivotal role in driving positive change and making a lasting impact for whānau throughout the regions. There is much work to be done in the coming months as we collaborate closely with Te Puni Kōkiri to finalize the details.

We look forward to this exciting journey ahead. Further information to follow shortly.

From 30 April, the Board would like to invite interested iwi members to once again attend the Agenda and General business part of the hui. We feel that this will also foster transparency across Board matters and allow iwi members to stay informed.

The meetings are currently held on the last Thursday of the month in Omere Meeting Room, Whitireia/Weltech Campus, 3 Wineera Drive, Porirua.

Please note: The dates and venue may change from time to time. Any changes will be published in the weekly iwi pānui.

Due to limited space and for catering purposes, we kindly ask that you register your attendance at least one week in advance by emailing governance@ngatitoa.iwi.nz
