About us – Ko Wai Matou?

Ngā Ratonga Tautoko is the local Attendance Service for Whangārei North and South, and Kaipara North and South.

The service is delivered by NorthAble Matapuna Hauora, a community organisation with a strong history of delivering Government-funded social services. NorthAble recognises that many people face a wide range of barriers that can affect wellbeing, connection, and participation in education. Ngā Ratonga Tautoko responds to this broader need through locally grounded, relationship-based support.

NorthAble also delivers a range of Government social service contracts and social enterprises, reflecting its commitment to community-led, practical solutions that support people to thrive.
