Ngā Kaitiaki Hauora o Aotearoa
Kaitiaki Hauora is a national alliance bringing together patients, health workers, Māori health representatives, unions, advocacy organisations, youth voices, and community groups who share a commitment to protecting and strengthening publicly funded healthcare in Aotearoa. The group has formed in response to increasing pressure on the public health system and growing concern about the impact this is having on patients, whānau, communities, and the health workforce.
Kaitiaki Hauora exists to promote and ultimately achieve full and sustainable funding for a public health system that meets the needs of everyone in Aotearoa throughout their lives. The alliance stands for accessible, equitable, evidence‑based healthcare, and supports a strong, publicly delivered system rather than outsourcing services to private interests.
The group’s kaupapa is grounded in honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, embedding equity and partnership in health system design, funding, and service delivery. Its values include transparency, fairness, respect for health workers, collaborative leadership, and supporting the democratic voice of those who deliver and rely on public healthcare.
A new era for Te Piki Oranga
Te Piki Oranga’s new Whakatū Hauora Hub at 199 Nayland Rd officially opened to whānau and the public on January 12 with a pōwhiri and guided tours.
The renovated and refurbished building (formerly Otumarama rest home and hospital), houses staff and services from the organisation’s offices and hauora hubs in Bishopdale and Richmond, which closed in late December 2025 to allow for relocation.
With its whānau rooms and clinical spaces, the new hauora hub will, in time, also house a birthing suite as an additional Te Puāwai he Kākano health service.
The new hub is a transformative move for hauora Māori services in Tauihu. Te Kāhui Hauora acknowledge the vision and drive of Te Piki Oranga kaimahi and the Board of iwi representatives.

From the Pouwhakahaere
Kia ora koutou katoa 
As political tensions continue to rise, the manaakitanga and kotahitanga on display at Whakatū Marae on Te Rā o Waitangi were a breath of fresh air. For many years, the marae has opened its doors to all in the community in a show of mutual respect and understanding. Dozens, if not hundreds, of whānau, once again pulled together to host the crowds, and, for me, it was a great reminder that it is here at the flaxroots where change happens and where our focus is best placed.
Last week, Te Kāhui Tika Tangata Human Rights Commission released the results of a survey which examined general awareness, understanding and attitudes to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, human rights and New Zealand’s constitution. The results show us that the rhetoric favoured by the Coalition Government is not representative of our wider communities. In fact, a sense of belonging, respect for human rights, and an understanding of our history are overwhelmingly viewed as important to Aotearoa’s future. A majority of 78% of respondents viewed respectful discussion about Te Tiriti as important; 83% viewed positive relationships between Māori and the Crown as important, and 70% saw the legal and constitutional protection of Te Tiriti as important.
This year, Te Kāhui Hauora will continue to fight for equity in health. We refuse to be held at the mercy of politics and the changing whims of government when there is work to be done.

Whānau Voice 2.0
A huge thank you to whānau who have completed the latest Whānau Voice survey. We’ve had a great response so far, and along with our iwi partners, will continue to seek the voices of whānau through to the end of May 2026.
Already, we are seeing some key themes emerge across the rohe. These include:
- ongoing difficulty accessing timely GP appointments
- the emotional and navigational complexity of cancer journeys
- mental wellbeing emerges consistently across iwi as both a health priority and a compounding factor affecting access to care.
- workforce stability is a critical enabler of whānau experience.
- strong support for kaupapa Māori and Māori-led services.
- a desire for broader wellbeing options that sit alongside clinical services
- challenges navigating services, understanding options, and knowing what to ask for.
Alongside access pressures, whānau voice also highlights what is working:
- Consistent, relationship-based care leads to positive experiences
- Kaupapa Māori services are trusted and valued
- Whānau feel supported when services uphold mana and cultural values
We encourage you to share the survey link with your whānau and friends and workplaces, and of course, if you have a few minutes spare, your input is welcomed and valuable.
