Healthy communities | World-class healthcare | Achieved together

Te Toka Tumai (Auckland DHB) recognises and respects Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document which encapsulates the

fundamental relationship between the Crown and Iwi. This established the New Zealand Government and defined Aotearoa as a

bi-cultural nation. As a bi-cultural organisation, Te Toka Tumai understands that as Tangata Tiriti we have a Tiriti o Waitangi

responsibility for Māori health improvement and a legislative responsibility to eliminate health inequities.

Our vision is to support our local population to achieve the outcomes determined for themselves, their whānau and their

community, and to ensure high quality, safe and equitable services are accessible when needed. Our approach is patient and

whānau-centred healthcare, which means people are at the heart of everything we do.

Our purpose is to support our population to be well and healthy, with special emphasis on accelerating health gain for Māori

and achieving equitable health outcomes across our community. We commission health and disability services across the whole

system from problem prevention to end of life care. We provide specialist healthcare services to patients and whānau from

across districts, Aotearoa, and the Pacific.
