Mō Te Piki Oranga / About Te Piki Oranga

Te Piki Oranga was established in July 2014 as the Māori health services provider in Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui (Nelson/Tasman/Marlborough).

We have community health hubs in Whakatū (Nelson), Wairau (Blenheim) and Motueka, and we also provide in-home, mobile and community outreach services. Our management team is located in Waimeha (Richmond) and across all sites Te Piki Oranga employs almost 100 kaimahi.

Kō te whānau te rito o Te Puna Hauora / Whānau at the centre

Te Piki Oranga reduces inequitable health outcomes by providing high-quality, accessible services that are consistent with the concepts of whānau ora and tino rangatiratanga.

We describe the people who use our services as ‘whānau’ because of the close and respectful relationships we aim to establish and nurture, in order to achieve this.
