Raukura Hauora o Tainui

What Raukura Hauora o Tainui does

Raukura Hauora o Tainui is a charitable trust (Raukura Hauora o Tainui Trust) delivering Kaupapa Māori primary healthcare, early years services, community wellbeing programmes, and integrated mental health support to whānau living in the rohe of Tainui waka across the Waikato region and Counties Manukau / South Auckland. The organisation operates four GP clinics — Te Papanui (Enderley), Te Rengarenga (Dinsdale), Nga Miro (Ngaaruawaahia), and Waahi (Huntly, currently closed) — under a PHO capitation model that delivers free services to enrolled patients, supplemented by modest per-visit fees for non-enrolled and CSC/non-CSC tiered consultations (NZD $5–$19 GP, $10 ACC) and procedural charges ranging from $5 (pregnancy tests) to $200 (missionary medicals).

The service platform is organised around four integrated pillars: Clinical Services (GP care, ACC, chronic disease management, immunisations, cervical screening, first-trimester maternity); Early Years Services spanning hapū maamaa through tamariki (Hapū Ora midwifery, Tamariki Ora 0–5, Aronui Respite Care in Huntly, Niho Taniwha Mobile Dental Unit visiting secondary schools across Waikato and Taamaki Makaurau, Rangatahi Ora); Community Health & Wellbeing (Hapori) delivered through four Oranga frameworks — Oranga Whānau, Oranga Tinana, Oranga Wairua, Oranga Hinengaro; and Whānau Pai, an integrated mental health and addiction programme staffed by Health Improvement Practitioners (Pouora), Health Coaches (Poutoko), and Kaiārahi support workers offering same-day appointments and personalised wellbeing plans.

Revenue is principally Crown-funded through PHO capitation contracts, complemented by ACC co-payments, CSC-subsidised patient fees, and clinical procedure charges. Go-to-market is community-led and trust-driven: self-referral, whānau referral, and third-party referral pathways feed enrolment via an IntelliMed-powered online portal, 0800 phone contact centre, and direct clinic intake. The organisation holds no subsidiaries, has undertaken no M&A, has not raised external funding, and is governed as a non-profit trust under CEO Sarina Ponga, who was appointed in November 2025 to the National Cervical Screening Programme Parliamentary Review Committee by the Minister of Health.
