'Kotahi anō te kaupapa, ko te oranga o te iwi' - ‘There is only one purpose to our work: the wellness and wellbeing of our people.
People in the corrections system have needs that affect their wellbeing and reintegration prospects - and very often these include complex health and rehabilitation needs. The Pae Ora group works to understand each person's holistic healthcare and rehabilitative needs. This includes needs associated with their primary health, mental health, Rongoa Māori needs, alcohol and drug dependency, and offending. The group's focus is on ensuring people in the corrections system remain connected to the broader health and social wellbeing system (inclusive of whānau) through pathways of support that extend into communities. This holistic approach helps achieve more equitable health and rehabilitation outcomes building the foundations for wellbeing and effective participation in society and beginning to realise the outcomes we seek through Hōkai Rangi. As one of the department's three core operational service groups, Pae Ora works together with the Custodial Services, and Communities, Partnerships & Pathways groups, to deliver effective, integrated, and high-quality services
