To matou whakahaere ki te tika, te rereketanga, me te whai wahi mai | Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means `the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all. Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.

At Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whanau orientated and supportive environment. We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Maori and ensures greater access, experience and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Maori, Pacific and Disabled People.
