Whānau Ora Providers Shows Widening Enthusiasm for Whānau-Centered Services

The Whānau Ora Governance Group today announced 25 provider collectives / stand alone providers selected to develop and deliver whānau-centred services to families around the country.

Governance Group Chairman Rob Cooper said the Expressions of Interest received from providers had been innovative and overwhelming. Providers proposals transform existing services to become integrated and whānau-driven. There were 130 proposals submitted involving 350 providers from around the country.

“Nearly 40% of all the Expressions of Interest were submitted on behalf of provider collectives – several with a national focus; many with support from iwi and hapū within their region; and a number of collective proposals from iwi-led collectives.”

“Expressions of Interest were also received from Pacific organisations, refugee/migrant focused providers, specialised social service providers and disability providers, reflecting the widening enthusiasm across diverse communities for whānau-centred practice,” he said.

Mr Cooper said the selected 25 provider collectives/stand alone providers representing 158 provider organisations had emerged from a process which involved funder checks, eligibility assessments and assessment from relevant Regional Leadership Groups. I want to thank the Regional Leadership Groups for the extremely valuable contribution they made to the selection of these organisations; with the majority of their recommendations agreed to by the Governance Group.

Final decisions by the Governance Group reflect: readiness to provide services; scale of operation; scope of service provision with a preference for providers or collectives able to offer a comprehensive range of services; and quality of proposal including history of service delivery, outcomes to be achieved, and the quality of relationships within a collective.

When considering submissions, Mr Cooper said the Whānau Ora Governance Group took account of larger scale collectives of providers, “with an expectation that these would provide whānau-centred service delivery coverage for more significant numbers of people.”

The following providers will move through to the next stage of developing detailed Programmes of Action to prepare themselves to develop and deliver whānau-centred services:

Each provider’s POA will address infrastructure needs; workforce training and development needs; a process for integrating contracts; the development of an outcomes framework and an agreed action research, evaluation and monitoring plan.

Mr Cooper said a number of the providers identified within the collectives were very small in scale and scope; and the networks of service delivery across the collectives will take time to develop.

“The Programmes of Action will take this variation into account, overall however the 25 providers/collectives have emerged where there is clear need, high levels of aspiration and distinctive populations of interest.”

He added that some locations still need to build provider relationships including: Kaipara; Hauraki; South Waikato; Taupō/Tūrangi; Palmerston North; Wairarapa; Levin/Kapiti Coast; and Invercargill.

“Development work with potential providers in these areas to build collectives will begin in 2011.”
