A new chapter begins as we launch our first bi-monthly newsletter, a space dedicated to keeping whānau informed and engaged in the kaupapa of strengthening our collective hauora and wellbeing. This is an opportunity to connect, share, and advocate for a health system that truly serves our people.
With a clear focus on priority areas such as tamariki and pēpi wellbeing, kaumātua care, mental health and addiction support, and workforce development, we are committed to making access to care easier and more effective for all.
Our newsletter brings you the latest updates on our mahi, insights from our Whānau Voice team, and highlight the changes in hauora that directly impact our hāpori. This is a platform for you—to share your experiences, your aspirations, and your thoughts on what matters most. By working together, we can shape a health system that upholds the values of fairness and equity for whānau Māori.
Our journey has already gained momentum. In recent months, Te Tiratū has been deeply engaged in advocating for whānau needs at both regional and national levels. From presenting our Community Health Plan to Te Whatu Ora Midland Te Manawa Taki to hosting iwi-led discussions on data sovereignty and strengthening Māori health providers, every step has been about creating real solutions driven by whānau voices. We have also raised awareness through the media on key issues such as inequitable access to bowel screening, ensuring that our advocacy reaches decision-makers and the public alike.
We invite you to be part of the journey. Share your whakaaro, engage with us at local events, and help shape the future of hauora for our people. Together, we can make a difference.
