Kia ora, we’re holding a Waikato Disability, Whānau Hauā Forum, and would like you to join us.
At Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand we want to hear your thoughts on health and well-being, and on local health services.
To help us with this, join our friendly online forum and share your knowledge and experiences with us so we can improve services for people living with a disability / whānau hauā, and enable information sharing.
As part of this, we’ll update you on key health and disability services related matters, and emerging initiatives.

Topics include - Local community feedback and discussion on the new health system and localities.
We are also going through an organisational change process currently and will share more about this with you.
