Matariki is a cluster of stars and the markers of potential in the taiao, weather, food systems, deaths, aspirations, and overall wellbeing.
This group is made up of all our service delivery teams who have direct contact with whānau.
Oro Tamariki
Oro Tamariki is a service that aims to empower tamariki and their whānau by finding and coordinating all the services needed to work together to support the whānau in achieving their goals and aspirations. Oro Tamariki is Tūpuna led, mokopuna inspired, and whakapapa focused. Kaimahi engage with tamariki and their whānau to understand their core beliefs and values, design a purpose focused vision, setting goals and re-identifying with self. This service is available to all tamariki of all ages and their whānau. If whānau are feeling overwhelmed by the involvement of multiple services, unsure who to go to for the right support, have lost direction, or are excited about their next stage in life but unsure how to map out their goals and aspirations, Oro Tamariki is the right service for them.
Health Coaching
Oranga is your birth right and our purpose. Health Coaching is a service that supports whānau with their health and wellbeing goals, encourages, and motivates whānau to self-manage their health needs, and navigates whānau towards better health outcomes by coordinating the right supports to work as one team. Health Coaching is accessible to all whānau as a self-referral or through their doctor or health improvement practitioner. The Health Coach will work with the whānau at home or in the community to identify their goals and deliver practical activities to improve their physical, mental, spiritual, and whānau wellbeing.
Manu Tāpiki
Manu Tāpiki is a service that provides a Māori approach to recovery, healing, and maintaining wellness. Accessing mental health and addiction supports can be challenging to navigate for whānau, especially if a Māori approach is preferred. Manu Tāpiki has a diverse team of Māori practitioners and clinicians who lead with ngākau Māori to form meaningful relationships with whānau to nurture the potential within and develop a whānau led plan to achieve wellbeing. If whānau are experiencing distressed, facing mental health or addiction challenges, or would like to add tools and knowledge to their kete to maintain well-being, this service is available to all whānau.
Oro Tuawhenua

We also support with a range of practical things through all stages of the cancer journey such as ensuring access to a registered nurse, rongoa Māori, transport, and prehabilitation, and assistance and support care to specialist treatment
