Whānau ora is a way of delivering support to whānau whose needs have not been met by mainstream partners with services including health, education, housing and general wellbeing. Local organisations receive funding for kaimahi to support whānau, setting realistic goals and staying with them as they achieve them and beyond. It unlocks potential and skills in whānau to increase their confidence, skills and overall well being in a holistic way that benefits the whole whānau. This level of support increases during unexpected occurrences like COVID and weather-related instances. Whānau Ora is a whānau-centred holistic approach to improve overall whānau well-being where whānau determine the services and support they need to achieve their aspirations.
Rangitāmiro is one of four Whānau Ora Commissioning Agencies, who fund and support partners to deliver whānau ora services throughout their communities to empower whānau (families) to achieve their goals and improve their wellbeing. Instead of focusing on individual needs, they take a holistic approach, looking at the bigger picture—health, education, housing, employment, and cultural identity—all at once. Rangitāmiro helps communities design their own solutions rather than relying on other similar agencies to dictate what’s best for them. It’s about whānau-led change rather than top-down decision-making.
Rangitāmiro works with local community partners who employ navigators to work directly with whānau. Collectively we work together to support whānau to achieve their aspirations in education, health, employment, economic independence, community well-being, and socially.
Our Rangitāmiro commissioning approach centres whānau needs and aspirations, embedding them in how we plan, implement, deliver and monitor our services. By partnering with whānau and service partners through co-production approaches, we ensure services are relatable and consistent. Our partners have extensive experience commissioning in a whānau centred way (NHC) and engaging with whānau to understand their experiences (IMPBs), and our approaches leverage off these experiences, learnings and templates
