Māhututonga our new commissioning agency

On Monday we launched our new Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency - Māhutonga. Like the southern constellation it’s named after, Māhutonga provides guidance and direction — illuminating a new path for commissioning that is by Māori, for Māori, and focused on achieving real outcomes for whānau, hapū and iwi.

We're here to transform how support is designed and delivered — commissioning with purpose, with integrity, and with whānau at the centre. This is more than a new agency — it's a movement toward tino rangatiratanga in commissioning.
