Budget 2010: Investing in families

The Government is putting more than $134 million over the next four years towards Whānau Ora. This policy is designed to help families in need take control of their future. It is recognisably Maori, but will be available to all.

At the moment, thousands of Kiwi families get support from many government agencies such as the Police, Work and Income, schools, or Child, Youth and Family. Too often this help isn’t getting the results these families need. We need to take a more coordinated approach and make better use of taxpayer money.

A Whānau Ora provider will work with a family as a whole, rather than with an individual and his or her problems. We know that with a bit of help, all families can take responsibility for themselves.

National is committed to better results for all families in need, value for taxpayer money, and strong accountability in the way Whānau Ora is run.
