GOALS

To provide accessible, high-quality medical and nursing care for all members of the community, particularly by welcoming more non-Tongan clients alongside our Tongan community.

To develop new and improved methods of delivering care, especially for individuals with long-term health conditions.

To recruit and support additional health professionals who can collaborate with us to enhance the Tongan Health Society’s approach to care.

GOALS

Create and enhance methods of supporting clients and their families by integrating medical and non-medical services, providing care that is well-organised, results-oriented, and promotes overall health and wellbeing.

Foster strong, healthy communities by empowering families to become more confident, informed, and engaged across generations.

Contribute to the improvement of the social and economic factors that influence individuals’ health and wellbeing.

GOALS

Achieve and uphold high standards through official accreditation from organisations such as the Ministry of Social Development, the Royal NZ College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the University of Auckland School of Medicine – Department of General Practice and Primary Care, and Tertiary Institutions.

Support and expand research projects that enhance our services and develop innovative care delivery methods, particularly for our predominantly Tongan clients and families, as well as broader Pacific and general health research.

Promote and cultivate training opportunities, including, where applicable, ECE teaching practicums, postgraduate researchers, medical and nursing students, social worker and counselling practicums, and RNZCGP registrars.

GOALS

Build strong relationships with NGOs, the Tongan Government, and other key organisations to support the Tongan Health Society’s business, service delivery, strategic development, constitutional imperatives, and governance and operational work programme.

Collaborate with Tonga’s Ministry of Health to implement a Tongan Outreach Project and Satellite Clinic in Tonga. This will assist families and individuals, particularly those who are vulnerable and not New Zealand residents, but may seek healthcare here as part of their immigration pathways.

GOALS

Provide high-quality ECE services to our community, seek future opportunities for growth, and continue to meet the Education Review Office's standards.

Support staff training and registration to enhance our workforce, improve services and models of care, meet THS accreditation requirements, and ensure that everyone operates to a high professional standard.

GOALS

Tongan Health wants to be known as a reliable and respected leader in Pacific health. It aims to enhance health and social services through innovation and strong leadership, with a particular emphasis on supporting the Tongan community, while also assisting everyone in Aotearoa who uses its services.

Support and develop business opportunities that aid vulnerable individuals and their families, particularly in areas such as social housing, parenting support, family violence services, education for self-care, social work and counselling, justice and prison-related programmes, and immigration assistance.

GOALS

Continue to build a strong, efficient, and sustainable organisation that provides our staff, clients, and community with valuable services.

Ensure we manage contracts and funding in a manner that aligns with our goals, values, and the aspirations of families and the broader community.

GOALS

Create and support new ideas and programmes for young people that help improve family, community, and intergenerational outcomes.

Employ positive approaches that acknowledge the diverse situations young people encounter, helping them feel connected to their culture and beliefs, securing employment or education, and making informed choices.

Develop programmes that empower youth to engage in their communities with confidence and effect positive change.

GOALS

Ensure that all team members are trained in the principles and practice of health equity and cultural competency.

Through ongoing internal quality programmes, recognise and address bias, work in ways that are culturally safe and respectful, and create inclusive and culturally secure experiences for our patients, whānau, staff, and the wider community.

Collaborate with the RNZCGP using its pro-equity guidelines, and align with their Māori Health Plan and Whakamaua: Māori Health Action Plan 2020–2025, which outlines the government’s goals for improving Māori health over the next five years. Ensure these principles are embedded across our organisation to help create a fair, sustainable health and disability system that delivers better outcomes for Māori.

Address racism and discrimination in all its forms through policy processes and registering bodies' competency programmes.

Ensure all organisational processes and policies are updated with relevant Equity and Treaty principles.

Continuously develop Foundation and Cornerstone programmes to ensure health equity is integrated into all clinical and non-clinical work programmes.
