Mō mātou | About Us 

National Hauora Coalition (NHC) is a Māori-led hauora organisation with a clear and purposeful mission: mana whānau, whānau ora – prosperous families living well. We design, coordinate, and deliver health and social services that bring genuine innovation and equity to communities across Aotearoa, with a particular focus on whānau who are least well served by mainstream systems. 

Our work spans a Primary Health Organisation and provider network, school-based health services (Mana Kidz), healthy housing (AWHI), indigenous mental health and addictions (Te Kaupapa), and a growing portfolio of direct delivery and commissioning activity. We also provide shared financial and operational services to Rangitāmiro, our whānau ora commissioning entity. Across our group, we operate at significant scale, with a complex funding environment, multiple legal entities, and strong expectations from our board and the communities we serve. 

Our pou tikanga  – whānau whakaaro tika, mahia kia ea kia toa, whānau whai hua – describe how we work and what we hold ourselves accountable to.
