WHAT IS TŌKU ORANGA?

Tōku Oranga is here to make your health journey easier.

If you’re feeling unsure about where to start or what support is available, we can help.

Our health coaches and community support workers work alongside your medical practice to understand your goals, connect you with the right services, and guide you through the steps to better health.

There’s no referral needed, just book through participating medical practices in Invercargill, Gore, or Te Anau.

Together, we’ll help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.

Formerly known as Access and Choice, Tōku Oranga is about helping people navigate their health journeys with the confidence, knowledge, and options they need to achieve optimum health outcomes - it’s about setting up clear pathways to better health, and about connecting in agencies and organisations that can play a role in that journey. 

We recognise that many factors impact an individual’s health, and a holistic approach is needed when it comes to addressing those issues. Physical activity and healthy eating form a big part of that journey, but they are only part of it. Our commitment is to supporting our community to be strong, healthy, vibrant, and happy, which is why we have become involved in Tōku Oranga – the holistic, patient-centric approach, where all factors contributing to an individual’s wellbeing are considered. 

We have health coaches and community support workers based in several medical practices in Invercargill, Gore and Te Anau, working with patients to better understand their health needs and goals, to connect with relevant support agencies in the community, and to help unravel the sometimes tricky and confusing aspects that can come with maximising health outcomes.
