Our Culture: What matters to us

Ko nga tangata, te matua mahi | Putting people at the heart of all we do

As a team, we are committed to focusing on our Five Strategic Pillars (Nga Pou Aronui) and keeping them in mind and at the forefront of our strategic plan:

Mana Tangata: A clearly defined focus on people with serious or acute mental disorders and who are unable to be treated elsewhere.

Matatau: In-depth clinical/specialist expertise in the assessment and treatment of people with serious or acute mental disorders.

Mahi Tahi: A multi-disciplinary and integrated approach that places consumers and their families at the centre of all we do.

Manaakitanga: A positive culture and environment that values our staff and embodies compassion, hope, and wellbeing.

Whanaungatanga: Continuously building and sustaining our partnerships with the wider health system, other agencies, and the community to support other professionals and help in the creation of a sustainable mental health system.
