Whānau engagement dashboards
The dashboards look at the percentage of tāngata whai ora who had a whānau engagement activity recorded during the selected quarter, and how soon that engagement took place.
Both dashboards are filterable by financial year quarter, organisation, phone contact and age group. These dashboards provide an ‘All NGO’ filter under organisations. It is recommended that district services uncheck this box to provide a more accurate picture of whānau engagement in their setting.
Note: you must be registered and sign in to use the KPI Programme data dashboards.

Why whānau engagement matters
In Aotearoa New Zealand, it is widely understood that whānau are central to individual and collective wellbeing, particularly for tāngata whai ora (people seeking wellness), and for more collectivist cultures such as Māori and Pasifika (Te Rau Matatini, 2014). It is therefore important for services to deliver culturally responsive and whānau-focused support to enhance people’s wellbeing (Manatū Hauora Ministry of Health, 2018).
Kia Manawanui Aotearoa, the long-term pathway to improving mental wellbeing, identifies as a priority the need to integrate whānau-centred models of care, mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), and Pasifika models of wellbeing into services (Manatū Hauora Ministry of Health, 2021c).
