We are proudly the only PHO based in Te Tai Tokerau, with strong relationships across general practice, iwi, health and community providers.

Our local knowledge means we understand the realities of delivering care in Northland – including rural access, workforce challenges, and equity needs.

Support That Strengthens Your Practice

Our role is to make your practice more sustainable, resilient, and effective by providing:

• Practical day-to-day support for operations and systems
• Clinical programmes and leadership guidance
• Data insights to support smarter decision making
• Advocacy on funding, workforce, and sector priorities
• Connection to regional and national health initiatives

Everything we do is designed to reduce pressure on your general practice and improve outcomes for your patients.

A Focus on Equity and Better Outcomes

Our Approach: Mahitahi – Working Together as One

Mahitahi means working together – and that principle underpins how we partner with general practice.

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we:

• Listen to your practice needs
• Work alongside your team
• Co-design solutions that suit your community
• Support continuous improvement and innovation

Together, we build a more connected, effective primary care system across Te Tai Tokerau.
