Protect yourself, your whānau, and our wider hapori — measles spreads easily, especially when travelling this hine-raumati. Tamariki, hapū māmā, and whānau with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable.

Bring your whānau and celebrate a day full of live music, local kai and crafts, workshops, games, and more.

* Free vaccinations available if eligibility criteria apply (including tamariki and those born between 1969–2004).

Important Pānui: Manage My Health Cyber Security Incident

We have been informed of a recent cyber security incident involving unauthorised access to the Manage My Health platform in New Zealand. The incident has been contained and Manage My Health has engaged independent international forensic consultants to verify the security measures implemented and assess the extent of any data affected.

Please note that Manage My Health is a third-party provider, independent from Te Manu Toroa, and is NOT the current practice management system used for our general practice. At this stage, we are unable to confirm the extent of the data breach or whether your personal information has been impacted.

By law, all health information must be retained for 10 years. This means that even if you are no longer using Manage My Health and are now using My Indici, your records will still be stored on the original platform.

Te Manu Toroa’s Response
Te Manu Toroa takes the privacy and security of patient information seriously. While we do not manage the Manage My Health platform, we are actively monitoring updates from the provider and will share any relevant information as it becomes available. Our internal systems remain secure, and we have reviewed our processes to ensure continued protection of your data.

To help protect your information, we recommend:
