Kaumātuatanga –
The Needs and Wellbeing of Older Māori

The Kaumātuatanga study was commissioned by Te Pou Matakana (TPM) with a view to work towards understanding what an ageing population means in the context of Whānau Ora approaches. The study was therefore designed to provide a snapshot of kaumātua needs and service use within the TPM commissioning area. The research was also designed to get an indicator of what providers are currently offering to kaumātua within their rohe.
