Pā Ora
Nau mai, haramai ki Pā Ora.
He pā tūwatawata pae ipurangi tēnei mā nga Iwi katoa, huri noa i te motu.
Mapping tool
Pā Ora has been created to map out vaccination sites, testing sites, mobile vaccination clinics/buses and locations of interest – in a way that whānau can easily access and understand.
Up to date Information
Pā Ora pulls down information from the Ministry of Health and Healthpoint and has a notification service for whānau that will let you know via email and/or cell phone, when a new location of interest arises in your rohe.
Community Response
Pā Ora is a tool that can enable a fast, accurate community response straight to whānau.
Whānau it is important
we keep our communities safe.
Our team of volunteers for Taitokerau Border Control (TBC) have been advocating strongly for our region to go back to Level 3. As we are not yet in Level 3 - our teams are focussing on protecting our vulnerable communities and having to turn whānau around who do not have the correct paper work.
The main message from our team is stay home, stay safe and if you’re interested in being a volunteer and contribute to our kaupapa, please get in touch hone@tehiku.com
