Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki

What Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki does

Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki is a rural, Iwi-based, not-for-profit incorporated society founded in April 1994 by the Hauraki Māori Trust Board following a health needs assessment of the Hauraki rohe. It operates four Whānau Health Centres located in Thames, Coromandel, Paeroa and Whitianga, delivering accredited, affordable primary healthcare (GP and nurse appointments, phone triage, repeat prescriptions) to both registered and casual patients without referral. The service portfolio is organised around six core programmes: Ohu Hauora (Whānau Health Centres), Ohu Kāinga (home assist services), Te Rito e Tupu Ana (Well Child for ages 0–5), Kaumātua Ora (elderly wellness including Mirimiri and Rongoā Māori traditional healing), Hinengaro (mental health and addictions), and Ohu Oranga o Te Tangata (community health including Whānau Ora navigation and the Te Kawaurua ACC navigation contract). After-hours virtual care is provided through Ka Ora Telecare, and repeat prescriptions are managed via the Manage My Health patient portal integration.

The underlying service model integrates Kaupapa Māori approaches with mainstream primary healthcare practices. Technology footprint is modest: there is no public or partner API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capability; digital channels are limited to the website, Facebook, the quarterly Kōrero o te Wā newsletter, Manage My Health for prescriptions, and Ka Ora Telecare for virtual after-hours consultations. Operating systems include governance by an Executive Committee (Chair: Riana Manuel) with operational leadership from CEO Tammy Dehar, Clinical Services Director Dr Martin Mikaere, and functional managers across HR, home services, clinical services, and finance.

The business model combines government-funded health service contracts (managed services revenue) with modest patient fees: consultations for registered adults 18–64 are NZ$18 in-person and NZ$12 phone, casual adults NZ$80, repeat prescriptions NZ$12 standard or NZ$18 urgent, while under-6 and registered 6–17 patients are free. Non-NZ residents pay a flat NZ$150. The customer base is the rural Hauraki rohe population spanning whānau, tamariki, kaumātua, and mental health and addiction service users, with no commercial enterprise customers. The organisation publishes annual reports for FYE 2023–2025 but does not disclose revenue figures publicly.

• Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand: National government health entity that funds and coordinates hospital and primary care services. Comparable as the primary counterparty in Te Korowai's government revenue stream and as the broader system context within which iwi providers operate.
