Hauora Matua ki Te Tai Aorere (Nelson Bays Primary Health) is a primary health provider and commissioning network for primary and community services in the Nelson Bays region.
Nelson Bays Primary Health Trust PHO is a not‑for‑profit partner that connects general practice, hospital and specialist services, and the community/whānau to improve access and outcomes across Te Waipounamu. We help practices understand their enrolled populations and drivers of demand, support enrolment and remove barriers to care, and coordinate enhanced primary and community services for people at risk of avoidable hospitalisations. We enable safe transitions from hospital and ED, provide or arrange outpatient follow‑up, and work with government agencies, iwi/Māori providers, and NGOs to build health literacy, resilience, and self‑efficacy through prevention, promotion, immunisation, and advanced care planning. Across these settings, we use data insights and quality improvement to ensure people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, with a strong equity focus for Māori, Pacific peoples, and rural communities.
