A new kaupapa Māori primary healthcare clinic is opening in Rotorua, aimed at reducing appointment wait times and making prices “more accessible”.

Tau Oranga Health Care will open on January 19 at the Janet Fraser building on Ranolf St.

Nurse Practitioners Jayme Kitiona and Jacinda Childs co-founded the clinic. It is open to anyone for enrolment.

Nurse practitioners can assess, diagnose, prescribe, and manage health needs.

We’re looking forward to working alongside and warmly welcoming the Rotorua hapori into Tau Oranga.

Adult visits start from $20.50, and the centre aims to reduce appointment wait times.

Ko Tau Oranga – He Hauora mō te Katoa.

At Tau Oranga, we believe how care is delivered matters just as much as the care itself.

Our service is proudly grounded in kaupapa Māori values:
🤝 Whakawhanaungatanga | Building genuine connections.
💙 Manaakitanga | Care, kindness, and respect
🌱 Kaitiakitanga | Looking after people and their wellbeing

We’ve created a space where people feel safe, respected, and truly heard.

While our foundation is kaupapa Māori, Tau Oranga is for everyone. We welcome Māori, Pākehā, Pasifika, Asian communities, rainbow communities, kaumātua, tamariki, and whānau from all walks of life.

Our commitment is simple:

✔️ To listen
✔️ To walk alongside whānau
✔️ To support hauora in all its forms — tinana, hinengaro, wairua, and whānau.

If you’re looking for care that sees the whole of you, we’d love to support you.
