The Hāpai Ō team are highly skilled and trained to support tāngata whai i te ora. This will ensure that the homes are kept safe and secure, and our community is kept safe.
Hāpai Ō is provided to the community by Te Hā Oranga (a part of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua). Tē Hā Oranga have an extensive track record of service provision and partnership across the rohe of Ngāti Whātua. These services, teams and partner provider networks support Hāpai Ō to provide a comprehensive and safe programme of care for tāngata whai i te ora and their whānau.
