And especially an opportunity to thank :

the Minister of Whānau Ora for her wisdom, advocacy, guidance and unswerving

conviction that whānau can be the best navigators for

their own futures

After Four Years

Whānau Ora is well established - the approach fits with Māori understandings of whānau and there have been measurable benefits to whānau.

The next phase will provide the impetus for major whānau gains and for innovative approaches that draw on past experience but also incorporate new and emerging opportunities.

Te Pae Tawhiti

The Governance Group has greatly appreciated the efforts of the many who have worked to build Whānau Ora into a model that has applications across all New Zealand and across the world.

Our task has been greatly assisted by the enthusiasm, energies, and optimism of our Minister, providers, regional leaders, government officials, agencies, researchers

And we are especially grateful to the many whānau who have embraced the challenge of self determination with confidence, fortitude and hope.

Kia ora koutou

And now on to a spectacular future for Whānau Ora
