A thriving community, built on collaboration and ongoing development to ensure equitable wellbeing outcomes for all.

Te Kaupapa | Our Mission

Ōtaki has an abundance of talented people, enabling Te Puna Oranga o Ōtaki to create a growing and impactful organisation that has drawn the line in the sand. 

For Te Puna Oranga o Ōtaki the community are the centre of everything we do. We are guided by manaakitanga – the process of showing respect, generosity, and care for others – as we strive to be kanohi kitea within our vibrant community. We seek to attract, retain and maintain services in Ōtaki, for Ōtaki, with a strong focus on meeting the needs of those living within our community.

Strong relationships are at the heart of all that we do, we are committed to building community focused systems that enable ‘total wellbeing’ or ‘mauri ora’. In holding true to our vision, everything that we do builds on the notion that wellbeing is the key outcome both now and for future generations.

As we design and begin to implement, we are focused on the research required to ensure that we are achieving the right outcomes, and this also provides evidence of a community that is thriving.

By being accountable to our community, all that we do gives life to a thriving community. By working constructively with agencies, we are building trust and insights of what services the community needs and delivering the outcome that we have agreed to deliver. By reporting to Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki, we ensure that our whole-of-system approach is equitable and enduring outcome for mana whenua and Māori.

Whaia te iti kahurangi,
ki te tuohu koe,
me he maunga teitei.

To be a centralised source of wellbeing for Ōtaki, working collectively to increase our community capacity to support the health and wellbeing of our people and whānau.
