Tena koutou,

Ngāti Hine Health Trust advises our clients, whānau and the community that the Dental Oral Health Services based in Kaikohe are temporarily closed. This follows on from our sole dentist moving away and the Trust actively exploring opportunities that allow us to re-open and offer a quality service that is best tailored to the needs of the whānau whom we serve. To our valued customers who have appointments booked for completion of dental work started. We offer you the following options:

1. A refund of your consultation fee.
2. Assistance in referral to another dentist.

Ph 0800 644 864

Over the weeks our remaining team will be working through logistics and making contact with active clients.

Ngāti Hine Health Trust acknowledge the importance of dental care for our whānau and apologise for the inconvenience this has caused for our whānau during this time.

Leadership Team

Ngāti Hine Health Trust

NHHT’s medical centre operates with a GP and Practice Nurse on the Kawakawa Office site.

This clinic in the Kawakawa Office offers mirimiri (massage) with karakia and whitiwhiti kōrero (cultural support).

Situated next to Bay of Island College, the clinic delivers a support service to youth up to 24 years that covers all areas of the health and wellness spectrum i.e. te hauora o te tinana, hinengaro, wairua, whānau and te ira tāngata.

If it’s difficult for whānau to come to us then we go to them. Ever on the look out to reduce barriers to health support for our whānau, we run clinics at Motatau, Waikare, Russell, Pipiwai, Rawhitiroa, Tautoro, Whakapara and Mangakahia monthly and bi-monthly. We try to take a range of health and social services clinicians, nurses and support staff and of course our GP Dr Tamara Birchall. Free health checks, referrals, specialist advice and on the spot services are provided plus a kapu tī!
