Navigators Phase 2 Research
Project Background
Whānau Ora Navigators work with whānau and families to identify their needs and aspirations, support their participation in core sectors such as housing, education, primary health and employment and link and coordinate access to specialist services. Navigators assist whānau to set long-term goals and encourage them to take charge in working towards them. This research followed on from the initial research in 2017, reviewing the recommendations and supporting continuous improvement for the Navigator network.
“I can’t think of any negatives and if they can’t help me, they try and look for others who can, and if they can’t they still try, and that’s all you can ask for really. I mean if they can’t help anywhere else then they just try and, we just try and work it out ourselves. We try and work it out as a team together.”

Find out how we can help you
We’ll work with you to find out what’s working, where investment could be put to best use or how to improve anything not going to plan. We can help you define success and set tangible, measurable goals. And we talk in real language so you can understand and engage with the findings. We engage with the community to conduct community research and consultations for private companies, trusts, government agencies, NGOs and more. But we have a special interest in research that has a purpose - to better society and teach lessons. We aim to help those we work with build capacity to enact positive change.
