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

7 March 2025

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

We look forward to working closely with Te Puni Kōkiri and strengthening our extensive provider network, as we continue the work we’ve already been doing, which is to empower whānau and communities to achieve their aspirations, whatever they 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, other trailblazers and commissioning agencies. We are committed to honouring their vision and building on the foundation they have laid, as we embark on this next phase of Whānau Ora.

We are deeply committed to our new role to continue driving positive change and making a lasting impact for whānau throughout our regions. There is much work to be done in the coming months as we collaborate closely with Te Puni Kōkiri to finalise the details.

We look forward to leading Whānau Ora through the next phase of its growth for all whānau of Aotearoa.
