National Hauora
Coalition
National Hauora Coalition is a Māori led, whānau informed and outcomes focused organisation that supports community-connected organisations to deliver hauora services effectively for whānau.
We promote, support and deliver initiatives aimed to improve health and social outcomes for all New Zealanders with a particular focus on whānau Māori, Pacific peoples, new migrant communities, and other populations who experience inequitable health outcomes.
In collaboration with our partners, we deliver a wide range of innovative health and social programmes that improve outcomes for whānau and benefit Aotearoa. Our history covers over two decades, driven by the hopes, dreams and aspirations for whānau Māori to achieve self-determined success.
