**Company Description**:
**To tatou tikanga | Our culture**

Our staff are passionate people, each driven to contribute to better health and wellbeing outcomes, with a focus on Māori, Pasifika and Disability populations. We are focused on hiring kaimahi who live and work in the communities they serve.

Whakarongorau Aotearoa is committed to understanding and improving mana taurite (equal status). This starts with the understanding of self and how we, as health and wellbeing professionals, think and behave each minute of each day to serve the needs for Aotearoa.

**Ko wai hoki | About us**

Whakarongorau Aotearoa (Whakarongorau), a social enterprise, is a virtual health and social services organisation with a proven record of connecting people seamlessly with care when they need it.

Whakarongorau has the privilege of running free to the public, digital health, mental health, and social services for the people of Aotearoa. We want to give everyone in Aotearoa the opportunity for wellness. We focus on the connected world of digital care, where we can help join all the dots, and select the right services, advice, support and help for the right need.

We use our healthy imagination to solve big problems by understanding the tiny ways that people are blocked from getting the care they deserve. Our imagination comes from our people and our partners and their drive to never give up.
