Nurturing Whānau Wellbeing Through Integrated Care
Te Kāika Wellbeing Hub
We’re your one-stop-shop for wellbeing.
At the heart of Ōtākou, Te Kāika is a kaupapa Māori organisation providing low-cost healthcare and free outreach social services for whānau.
Guided by Whānau Ora principles, we integrate care with compassion and cultural relevance to uplift the health of Māori, Pasifika, and the wider community.
