wellness support
On this page, you’ll find a range of health and wellbeing services offered by Te Wānanga o Raukawa to support our students. These services are grounded in important tikanga that prioritise the health and wellbeing of our people.
Together, we navigated the challenges of the pandemic, guided by our kaupapa. This included the development and implementation of tikanga—such as rāhui and the use of Te Āhuru Mōwai—to help protect our community. While many of these measures have now been lifted, they may be reinstated if circumstances require.
students falling unwell during noho
In any emergency 111 should be called immediately. This would include any of the following:

If you become unwell while on noho in Ōtaki, the programme kaikōkiri, can arrange for you to be seen at the Ōtaki Medical Centre or Team Medical in Paraparaumu:
The student MUST take their ID and present it to Reception upon arrival. The student will be accompanied by a staff member of TWoR.
On-site health services
There is a free hauora clinic for students in conjunction with the Ōtaki Medical Centre. There is no cost for this service and students do not need to be registered with the Ōtaki Medical Centre. This service runs every Thursday from 9am – 3pm during the academic year.
For bookings, please email twor@otakimedical.co.nz
Located near student accommodation in room 7 of the Wairau building, the service includes general health checks, triaging and medical service support and should not replace an existing registered doctor’s service.
Pre Noho
Akonga are reminded to bring their required medication with them to Campus for any noho to avoid using this service without acute need.
If you are displaying cold or flu symptoms, please remember to wear a mask when visiting.
