Whānau Ora services focus on the whānau as a whole, addressing individual needs within the context of the whānau. Whānau are supported to identify their own goals and supported to build their capacity to achieve them. 

Working with whānau and whānau ora providers to find their needs in terms of healthy homes and home environments. 

Tumai Ora Whānau Services provide whānau ora services across East Otago and North Otago encompassing the Moeraki and Huirapa Rūnaka rohe, Waitati, Purakanui and the Waitaki Valley. Tumai Ora loosely translates as ‘taking a stand for the best’ and their aim is to foster accessibility to service delivery and help build greater relationships with health and social services in the Otago area.

The key objectives of the services of Tumai Ora are to ensure existing health professionals and providers are available and that Māori are assisted to better utilise the services that are available to them.

Tumai Ora Whānau Services are available to all of the community.
