Whānau Ora is a whānau-centred approach that empowers whānau to achieve their goals by placing them at the forefront of decision-making for their own well-being and future.
It focuses on the strengths of each whānau, providing integrated services and support, often through dedicated Kaiārahi (navigators), to improve outcomes in areas like health, education, employment, and income.
The kaupapa (philosophy) of Whānau Ora aims to foster self-management, independence, and collective achievement for whānau and their communities.
