Whänau are actively engaged in Whänau Ora
More than 300 new whänau were directly engaged with
seven Whänau Ora providers involved in an ‘information
collection’ trial. In total, 800 whänau clients developed or
advanced their whänau plans.
Whänau Ora is leading to improvements for whänau
The trial found that the participating whänau have high
levels of satisfaction with services and support they have
received from provider collectives, leading to positive
changes for the whänau members.
Whänau planning is an effective mechanism for
engaging whänau and strengthening capacity
The process of whänau coming together to engage in
planning appears effective for building whänau capacity,
even before whänau begin progressing towards their
goals. Almost 40 per cent of whänau goals during whänau
planning related to their collective capacity.
Whänau aspirations are inter-related but there are
often multiple barriers to achieving aspirations
Although the lives of whänau are complex and multidimensional,
it appears the Whänau Ora approach supports
whänau to progress towards aspirations holistically.
Common aspirations are around health/disability (18 per
cent of all goals); manaakitanga (12 per cent of all goals);
and housing (nine per cent of all goals).
