In January 1998 Te Kaokao O Takapau was formed as a subsidiary Trust of Te Runanga Matauranga O Tuhoe. This was primarily in response to a lack of local services specifically targeted toward promoting welfare and opportunity for children with a disability.
The aims were;
Identifying potential clients, and conducting a needs analysis assessment
Establishing key networks with internal and external organisations relative to the organisation
Identifying and resourcing core services which provide for an improved service delivery focussed on "client need"
Securing of financial resources which supported operations, and allowed for effective implementation of key strategies in providing an excellent service
Staff development strategy implemented addressing weaknesses and enhancing strengths to achieve more qualified staff

Te Puna Ora O Mataatua
Te Puna Ora o Mataatua was formed in 1991
at Maungarongo Marae, in Ohope, Whakatane,
after a series of hui were organised to set up
Primary Health Care Services for the iwi of
Mataatua in the Eastern Bay.
Kaumatua representative from each iwi, within
the rohe, contributed support to develop the
‘Vision’ for Health care services within Te Puna
Ora. These services were designed to be
accessible, affordable and culturally appropriate
to improve well-being of iwi, and later, the
wider community.
