Who We Are
Hāpaitia is brought to you by Hāpai Te Hauora, Aotearoa’s largest Māori public health organisation.
Since our inception in 1996, Hāpai Te Hauora has advanced Māori public health leadership across Aotearoa. Our vision is to foster Māori public health leadership that brings enduring, transformative change for generations to come.
We hold numerous national and regional contracts that align with our mission – Oranga Whenua, Oranga Tangata – and we are committed to supporting communities and whānau to achieve better health outcomes.
Our mahi focuses on kaupapa that minimise the harmful effects of gambling, alcohol, tobacco, vaping, and drugs. We actively promote and provide preventative care and awareness through a range of initiatives, including immunisations, vaccinations, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), and Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI).
