About us
Ā mātou tangata
In 2022, Te Pae Oranga o Ruahine o Tararua Charitable Trust proudly became one of the eleven founding Iwi Māori Partnership Boards (IMPBs) established. These boards are dedicated to ensuring Māori leadership and perspectives are central to improving health outcomes for whānau, hapū, and iwi.
At Te Pae Oranga, we are committed to fostering collaboration, upholding the principles of manaakitanga and rangatiratanga, and advocating for solutions that reflect the unique needs and aspirations of our communities. Together, we work toward a healthier, more equitable future for all.
Te Pae Oranga is an Iwi Māori Partnership Board (as legislated in the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022) that is made up of seven Iwi representatives, two Mātāwaka representatives and a Tangata Whaikaha representative. We also have a Kaumātua Advisor that sits along side the Board.
The seven Iwi that are represented on the board are:
- Rangitāne o Manawatū
- Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-ā-Rua
- Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki nui-a-rua
- Ngāti Kauwhata
- Te Kotahitanga o Te Reureu
- Muaūpoko Tribal Authority
- Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga
Te Pae Oranga has an operational backbone called Tāhū Ora, located in Palmerston North.
