Hospices of Northland deliver the Tiakina te Kaitiaki (TTK) service as an extension of palliative care contracts and provides services across Te Tai Tokerau.
The service is available to informal carers of those with a life limiting condition, who may be in their last year of life and not already enrolled with Hospice, by connecting these carers to resources, funding, and community organisations that strengthen them to continue in their vital role. The aim is to support and enhance carer resilience to enable the carer to continue in the caring role while maintaining their own wellbeing.
