Our people make us proud every day. And right now, we are feeling particularly pohu kererū – puffed up like the wood pigeon with pride – for our Te Waipounamu South Island teams who have been advised we are able to continue Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora contracting for the Health of Older Persons for the whole of Te Waipounamu.

Our teams are professional, passionate and solutions-focused and this was recognised in the award of this contract.

We are thrilled that our experience and quality care has been recognised by Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, and the mahi that we have been providing to the region will continue, as it has done for 100 years, to even the most remote and isolated whānau.

Quality care is our constant, and we are excited to see this contract enabling innovation – our teams are ready to implement new ways of efficient service delivery.

We also give kudos to Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora for their commitment to push towards outcomes-focused services that mean our tāngata can age safely living at home.

With a strong alliance in place, we are well-placed to realise these aspirations.
