On Wednesday 19 November, we gathered for our Te Taura Ora o Waiariki quarterly Stakeholder & Provider Hui – he wā kōrero, he wā whakarongo, he wā whakarite mahere mō āpōpō.

It was awesome to come together ā tinana, share whakaaro, and hear the latest updates on the kaupapa happening across our rohe. We talked through progress on our whānau voice initiatives, heard insights from current projects, and listened to reflections from those working on the front line of hauora and community wellbeing.

We also looked ahead to what’s coming up and started mapping out our collective priorities as we move toward 2026. A real sense of kotahitanga, collaboration, and commitment came through – all focused on strengthening hauora outcomes for our Te Arawa whānau.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who showed up, contributed, and shared your mātauranga. Your voices help guide our direction and keep our mahi grounded in what matters most – our whānau.

Hei mahi tahi, hei painga mō te iwi.
