Te Puna Ora o Mataatua

What Te Puna Ora o Mataatua does

Te Puna Ora o Mataatua Charitable Trust, established in 1991 in Whakatāne, New Zealand, is a non-profit organisation delivering integrated health, medical, social, and employment services to Māori and the wider population of the Eastern Bay of Plenty under a kaupapa Māori framework. The trust operates a multi-site service portfolio anchored by Te Whare o Rehua, its medical subsidiary established in November 2025, which encompasses Rehua Medical (a purpose-built GP hub at 90 King Street, Kōpeopeo), the Rehua Nuku Ora mobile health unit, the Rehua Tūahiahi after-hours clinic (launched January 2026), and the Ngā Ringa Kōkōmuka Rongoā Māori clinic, alongside jointly controlled Tarawera Medical Centre in Kawerau and the recently acquired Riverslea Medical Centre.

Beyond clinical care, the organisation runs an extensive wraparound service stack: Whānau Ora integrated family support, health promotion (Whakapiki Oranga), counselling (Ngā Mata Wai Ora), maternal and infant services (Māmā & Pēpi), kaumātua home-based support, dementia services, ACC nursing, a Rangatahi Hub with Digital and Driving Academies, social housing, an emergency response collective (Haumaru Tūpūtanga), and the Huraina i Te Ao Research Institute. Distribution is deliberately multi-modal, combining fixed clinics, walk-in sessions, mobile outreach, and community wānanga to reach rural and underserved populations across the Mataatua rohe.

The revenue model is contract-based rather than commercial, with all primary income derived from New Zealand government payers: Te Whatu Ora (formerly District Health Boards) and the Ministry of Health for primary healthcare and Whānau Ora programmes, ACC for injury support, and Oranga Tamariki for vulnerable children and social services. Services are free or subsidised for Community Service Card holders, with standard fees only for non-card-holders aged 18+ at Rehua Medical. Distribution is via direct service delivery through owned and partnered facilities, with referrals and awareness driven by iwi relationships, community networks, and a multi-channel digital presence. The organisation is governed by a Board of Trustees (chaired by Fiona Wiremu) under CEO Dr Chris Tooley, with no private equity, venture capital, or external institutional ownership.
