T&G is proud to have received the Manaaki Award alongside Hastings Health Centre and OrbitProtect Travel Insurance at the 2025 Horticulture New Zealand and RSE Conference, for our Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Health Clinic.
Launched in 2024 at our Whakatu Hawke’s Bay apples packhouse, the cross-collaborative Health Clinic is open to all 4,000 RSE workers in the region over the apple harvest period. Staffed by extended care paramedics and registered nurses from Hastings Health Centre, the clinic has provided care to more than 2,500 RSE workers, helping them to access healthcare in a familiar setting, build trusted relationships with practitioners, and ease pressure on local community urgent care services.
At its heart, this award reflects the care, collaboration and commitment we and our partners hold for our RSE whānau, and we’re proud to be continuing our Health Clinic in 2026.
