Whānau/Hunau‑facing

Your voices matter here

Te Pūhana Ora is here to make sure whānau/hunau voices from Rēkohu | Wharekauri are heard and respected in health decisions.

Whānau/Hunau know what it’s really like to get care on the island — what works, what doesn’t, and what makes things harder than they need to be. We listen to those experiences and make sure they shape how the health system responds.

This website shares:
What whānau/hunau have told us
What matters most for hauora/Ioranga and wellbeing
How your voices are being carried forward

Who we are

Te Pūhana Ora represents whānau/hunau living on Rēkohu | Wharekauri.
We listen to whānau/hunau experiences and speak up when services don’t fit island life. Our role is to make sure decisions about health are grounded in what people here actually need.
We don’t run health services.
