Description

Hāpai Te Hauora provide Māori Public Health Leadership and Strategic advice to a number of services across Tamaki Makaurau, working across the public health issues of Alcohol and Other Drugs, Tobacco Control and Nutrition and Physical Activity. 

As an Iwi and Maataa Waka mandated organisation we provide community-driven public health services through our owner organisations, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Raukura Hauora o Tainui and Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust, known by the name of Whānau Whanui.

Whānau Whanui (Māori Public Health) is a regional public health collective who work as the delivery arm for Hāpai. 

Through fortnightly meetings, the collective together advances public health and continues the legacy of our tupuna by creating environments in which whānau and communities thrive in the areas of: tihei mauri ora (reducing tobacco use), kia maarie (reducing drug and alcohol use), and whai ao (improving nutrition & exercise).
