85% of whānau say they "strongly agree" or "agree" that having had a stroke has had a negative impact on their mental health and wellbeing.
43% of whānau say they "strongly agree" or "agree" that having gout has had a negative impact on their mental health and wellbeing.

80% of whānau were only "somewhat aware" or "not at all aware" of stroke support services and resources available to them.
63% of whānau were only "somewhat aware" or "not at all aware" of gout support services and resources available to them to help them manage their condition.

Whānau consistently reported unmet needs, low confidence in services, and valuable measures and support systems that are often overlooked for both conditions (e.g. peer support, whānau involvement in care, need for whānau advocacy). The findings show that health conditions are experienced collectively, with impacts extending beyond the individual to affect whānau wellbeing through caregiving responsibilities and support for whānau to recover.

Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board has partnered with Stroke Aotearoa and Arthritis NZ Mateponapona Aotearoa to better understand how stroke and gout affect whānau and what services and support would help. Following an online survey that ran for 6 weeks at the beginning of the year, we gathered experience from whanau Māori in the Wellington rohe (Pōneke/ Porirua/ Kāpiti/ Te Awakairangi).

Te Māra o Hine‑Raraunga (the report) was commissioned in partnership between Āti Awa Toa Iwi Māori Partnership Board and Manatū Hauora to identify culturally appropriate whānau voice data storage and protection solutions that also enable appropriate sharing and utilisation of whānau voice data. This work recognises that for whānau voice to be used effectively to set local and regional health priorities for Māori, trusted processes that uphold the mana of those voices are required.

This report provides a summary of the oranga of Māori māmā and pēpi across our Āti Awa Toa Iwi Māori Partnership Board rohe, combining whānau voice with health, housing, and social sector data to assess how well the system is working and where change is needed. It is a monitoring dashboard within a kaupapa Māori framework and is designed to support ongoing system learning and transformation.

This year, we tell our story through the two periods that guide our mahi: our Maramataka, from Matariki 2024 to Matariki 2025, and the financial year, from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025.

This report affirms that whānau voice is not only critical to understanding the challenges of the health system, but also offers the pathways to solutions.

This monitoring framework outlines the Āti Awa Toa Hauora Partnership Board’s approach to fulfilling its monitoring functions, which are mandated as expectations of our iwi and legislated responsibilities under the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022.

Our Community Health Plan sets out our initial priorities and work programme to achieve our mission – an oranga ecosystem for our mokopuna to thrive.

This Biennial Report covers Atiawa Toa Hauora lwi-Mãori Partnership Board's (AATHB) journey from establishment in 2022 through to June 2024.

The kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi from within our communities is helping to enrich our understanding of why many health inequities persist as well as pointing to what can be done – their insights into the things that would make a difference.
