Whānau Ora Whānau Ora is a service designed to advocate for and support both whānau and individuals.

This will be created in consultation with you and will outline certain goals you’ve identified as being important. Once you are happy with the plan, we will then begin navigating the most appropriate pathway to enable you to realise your goals.
