Welcome to Te Roopu Taurima

We are a kaupapa Maori service that supports people of all ethnicities with intellectual impairments around New Zealand.

We provide residential and vocational support to clients, known as tangata, as well as out of family respite care, caregiver support, high and complex needs support, and choices in community living.

We believe in creating a community within the organisation, as well as helping our tangata become part of the wider community.

With offices in Auckland (Tamaki Makarau), Whangarei (Taitokerau), Hamilton (Midlands), and the Christchurch (Otautahi), we are empowering tangata all over the country. As the largest kaupapa Maori Disability Support Service, our worldview encompasses everyone – we believe in caring for anyone with intellectual impairments or mental illness who needs support.
