Te Taiwhenua O Heretaunga

What Te Taiwhenua O Heretaunga does

Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga (TToH) is a not-for-profit charitable trust and the mandated political leadership entity for Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga, operating from Hastings, New Zealand across Hawke's Bay, the East Coast, and Central Hawke's Bay. Founded in 1985, the organisation delivers an integrated portfolio of health, social, education, and community development services spanning the full whānau lifecycle — from pregnancy and Well Child Tamariki Ora checks through to kaumātua housing and in-home palliative care. Core service modules include Hauora Heretaunga (a GP and dental medical centre with subsidised consultations and free under-25 visits), Te Ara Waiora (free walk-in nurse-led clinics in Flaxmere and Central Hawke's Bay), Oranga Hinengaro (mental health, addiction, and residential care), Mana Ake (school-based child wellbeing), Family Start, Whānake Te Kura (antenatal education), Te Haa Matea (smokefree support), Te Oranga Tautiaki (in-home care packages), Te Punga o Hauora (cancer care), and Whare Āhei (affordable rental grants). Auxiliary programmes include tertiary scholarships, marae renovation funding (Provincial Growth Fund), event sponsorship, Matariki Living Taonga Awards, and the Kotahitanga Twilight Gala.

The organisation operates a service-delivery platform architecture: a common Te Wairatahi registration/intake front-end funnels whānau into multiple programme modules, each staffed by multidisciplinary teams (doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, Rangatahi Coaches, Whānau Ora Kaiarahi, Kaiawhina). Technology use is limited to standard clinical/office IT and the third-party MyIndici patient portal for appointments, prescriptions, and patient-provider messaging. There is no proprietary technology stack and no AI/ML capability disclosed. Governance is via the Te Haaro Board, comprising 15 elected trustees representing the 14 Heretaunga Marae plus Mātāwaka representation from Te Aranga Marae, with marae trustees required to be registered with Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Inc.

TToH's revenue model is dominated by New Zealand government funding — Ministry of Health, Hawke's Bay District Health Board, Ministry of Social Development, Te Puni Kōkiri, and Provincial Growth Fund contracts — supplemented by subsidised user-pay consultation fees ($16-30 per visit), free services for under-25s and CSC holders, conference facility hire, and ancillary programme revenue. With ~480 employees (~80% Māori), the organisation is one of the largest kaupapa Māori service providers in Hawke's Bay, delivering services across physical sites in Hastings (headquarters), Waipukurau (Tamatea Health & Social), Flaxmere, and Napier, plus in-home delivery across Wairoa, Napier, Hastings, Waimārama, and Central Hawke's Bay.

Product overview

Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga (TToH) is a not-for-profit charitable trust and the mandated political leadership entity for Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga. It offers a broad, integrated portfolio of health, social, education, and community development services — not a single product but a coordinated ecosystem of wraparound support spanning the entire whānau lifecycle. The core offering centres on Hauora Heretaunga (a GP and dental medical centre) and Te Ara Waiora (a free nurse-led walk-in clinic), supplemented by Oranga Hinengaro and Hiwa-i-te-rangi (mental health and addiction services), Te Poutama Tautoko (drug and alcohol therapies), Mana Ake (school-based child wellbeing), Whanake Te Kura (pregnancy and parenting education), Well Child Tamariki Ora (child health checks), Family Start and Whānau Ora Kaiarahi (whānau support), Te Haa Matea (smokefree support), Te Mana Waiū (breastfeeding support), Kaumātua Ora and Te Oranga Tautiaki/Supreme Care (senior care and in-home support), and Te Punga o Hauora (cancer care). Community-facing initiatives include Tertiary Scholarships, Event Sponsorship, Matariki Living Taonga Awards, the Kotahitanga Twilight Gala, Conference Facilities hire, He Purapura Whetū whānau surveys, and the Te Tū Marae ki Te Matau-a-Māui marae renovation programme. TToH's Tamatea Health & Social centre serves Central Hawke's Bay as a regional hub, while the client registration system Te Wairatahi acts as the intake front door across all services. Whare Āhei provides affordable rental grants as a housing support mechanism. The organisation's ~480 staff (80% Māori) deliver services across Hawke's Bay from Mahia to Remutaka. The overall architecture is best described as a service-delivery platform with multiple programme modules sharing a common registration and intake front-end, coordinated by a Te Haaro Board of trustees representing 14 Heretaunga marae.
