Mō mātou | About Us

Ngāti Hine Health Trust is a kaupapa Māori organisation committed to the wellbeing of our people, our whenua, and our future. Our services include health, tamariki ora, disability support, mental health and addictions, primary care, justice, corrections, housing, education, social services, reo irirangi Māori and Whānau Ora. We have locations in Kawakawa (Head Office), Whangārei (Business Support) and satellite offices in Kaikohe, Pakaraka, Moerewa and Kaeo. We are deeply connected to our iwi and hapū, our community and to our Ngāti Hine tikanga.

The energy of this organisation cannot be put into words—it comes from the kaimahi and the communities we serve. It’s an energy that makes this more than a job, it’s genuine joy. Manaakitanga and Kotahitanga aren’t just words here, they are real life—be that in the community café where we train rangatahi, supporting whānau at Battle of the Ballroom or the 24-hour fitness challenge, and the way we care for whānau in crisis. As a leader here you will be kanohi kitea with our kaimahi and whānau and seeing the impact of our mahi every day.

Ko wai koe | About you
