Supporting locality development
We worked closely with Kotui Hauora to support the development of the
Taikorihi locality in Muriwhenua, one of 12 prototype localities across
Aotearoa.
As part of that, we held funds, provided administrative support and
supported the recruitment of JJ Ripikoi as a programme manager, on the
locality’s behalf.
"It has been a pleasure to work
with Taikorihi who in a relatively
short period are an exemplar
for a locality prototype and we
are looking forward to the next
year with the realisation of their
aspirations."
– Jensen Webber
Taking immunisation
to the community with
an outreach bus
We worked with Te Whatu Ora and
participating general practices to
send a childhood immunisation
outreach bus to sites in the Mid
and Far North in May 2023.
The bus offered all scheduled
immunisations, including flu, and
was free for the whole whānau,
with no appointment needed.
The Clinical Hub team contacted
whānau with tamariki up to the
age of six who had immunisations
due to invite them to attend, and
the Data & Digital team supported
by identifying ‘hotspots’ of
unimmunised tamariki, which
informed where the bus should
go. A great team effort!
