Te Hā Oranga is the health and social services arm of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, an iwi-owned provider, and it works under Ngāti Whātua tikanga. It was set up in the early 1990s as a kaupapa Māori health service, and it serves whānau across the Ngāti Whātua rohe.
The service provides free care for people who live within the Ngāti Whātua rohe, regardless of background. It offers GP clinics, outreach clinics, mobile nursing and nurse practitioner services. Nurses, counsellors and practitioners support whānau to manage their own wellbeing, and there are education, health and wellbeing services for tamariki and rangatahi.
The service has wrap-around support for whānau with drug or alcohol problems or in recovery. Support includes clinical and peer support, a kapa haka group, aftercare, and in-home support after an accident or for older whānau. Navigators help whānau with ACC claims.
The main site is at 1 Rendall Place, Eden Terrace. The service also runs locations in Te Awaroa (Helensville), Wellsford and Tākiwira (Dargaville).
Our pick in Eden Terrace for whānau who want Māori-led health and social support close to home.
