💉 Protect your whānau this coming flu season

The flu isn’t just a bad cold, it can make you and your loved ones seriously unwell, especially pēpīi, kuia/kaumātua, and those with existing health conditions.

Getting your flu vaccine each year is the best way to protect yourself and your whānau.

It’s safe, quick, and free for those most at risk.

Talk to your GP or local provider and get protected today.

🗣️ Why whānau voice matters

Our whānau voice should be heard as it is, not diluted, not reshaped.
It guides our mahi and keeps us accountable to what our people truly need.

Because when we listen properly, we can respond in ways that genuinely support our whānau 💙

Here, our GM Mapihi shares her whakaaro on whānau voice.

🦠 COVID-19 cases are on the rise again whānau

We’re seeing another wave of COVID-19 across Aotearoa, and it’s a timely reminder to look after ourselves and each other.

Staying up to date with vaccinations, testing if you’re unwell, and staying home when sick all help slow the spread and protect those most at risk.

If you’re feeling unwell, don’t ignore it, take the time to rest and recover.

Let’s continue to look after one another 💙
