E te whānau, we’d love to hear your voice 💙

Over the coming weeks, an independent company may contact some whānau by phone to gather feedback about Whaiora’s Rongoā services.

If you receive a call, please know it is a genuine survey on behalf of Whaiora.

Your whakaaro and experiences help us understand what’s working well and how we can continue to strengthen and grow Rongoā Māori for our communities. Every kōrero shared helps ensure our services remain responsive to whānau needs and grounded in Te Ao Māori.

If you receive a call, we encourage you to take part and share your voice. Ngā mihi for helping us shape the future of hauora for our whānau and hapori.
