National Hauora Coalition, Ngaa Pou Hauora oo Taamaki Makaurau Iwi Maaori Partnership Board and Te Tiratū Iwi Māori Partnership Board are proud to come together under the collaborative entity, Rangitāmiro as the preferred candidate for commissioning Whānau Ora region 1 across Te Tai Tokerau (Northland), Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), and Waikato.

The vision set by Kahurangi (Dame) Tariana Turia echoes through our present and future aspirations for Whānau Ora, and we feel immensely privileged to carry out this kaupapa that contributes to fulfilling her legacy, backed by the recognition and confidence of Te Puni Kōkiri (TPK).

Rangitāmiro is honoured to have the opportunity to build on the strong foundations of the Whānau Ora commissioning collective who came before us and to continue the mahi of this important kaupapa alongside current and new providers.

As we embark on this haerenga, our collective expertise, knowledge, and reach in delivering equitable outcomes for our people will ensure that we uphold the aspirations of Whānau Ora for generations to come.

Rangitāmiro is firmly committed to realising the Whānau Ora vision of whānau achieving self-determined success.
As we enter the fi nal phase of the procurement process, we look forward to partnering with TPK to prepare for the commencement of commissioning services from 1 July 2025.

Once the contract is finalised, we will be in touch with providers. Our focus is on working with those who are in and closest to whānau—including iwi, community providers, and whānau—to help build and strengthen the Whānau Ora work already being undertaken and ensure whānau and hapori continue to be at the centre of this transition.
