OUR UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES

Rights based approach:
We support our whanau to participate to the fullest extent possible in the decisions that impact them; to be empowered to live lives of their choice and to do so in an environment that is non-discriminatory; promotes individual responsibility; provides dignity of risk; and supports equality.

Collaborative and flexible services:
We recognise that every person is unique and to preserve individual identity we have a creative, tailored and non-hierarchal approach to service delivery. We value solutions from our whanau and we’re also outward looking, constantly drawing on external expertise to improve and enhance our services.

Life style plan model:
We encourage interdependence and co-creation of lifestyle plans. We support self-advocacy and provide independent advocacy support if required.

Lifelong support:
We provide support akin to that of family, building trust and a sense of belonging within our whānau. We offer lifelong support, including end of life services. We never give up on our people.
