Meri Kirihimete

E te iwi whānui, tēnā koutou katoa.

I te tataunga atu ki te mutunga o tētahi atu tau, ka hiahia au ki te whakapau wā ki te whakapuaki i taku mihi nui ki a koutou katoa mō tō koutou ngākau nui, manawanui, me tō koutou pūmau. Ko tēnei wā o te tau he wā hei whakāroaro, hei whakanui, hei titiro whakamua ki ngā timatanga hou. Kia kī tō kāinga i te hari, tō ngākau i te aroha, me tō oranga i te katakata i tēnei wā hararei. 

As we approach the end of another year, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your dedication, resilience, and commitment.

This festive season is a time for reflection, celebration, and looking forward to new beginnings. May the holiday season fill your homes with joy, your hearts with arohā, and your lives with laughter. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful start to 2026.

Office closures

Our offices close on Friday and re-open on Monday January 5. Kaimahi are encouraged to enjoy a restful break with their whānau, but out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind, so if you need support that you think we're the best to give, you can phone us on 0800 NGATI R (0800 642 847).

E mihi ana ki a koutou katoa mō te Kirihimete hari me te Tau Hou e tino rangatira ana. 

Paimārire,

Shane Graham, Pouwhakahaere
