What is Tai Aranui
Innovative Marae-based Justice Hub
Te Rūnanga o Ngā Maata Waka in partnership with New Zealand Police, The Ministry of Justice, and The Department of Corrections have come together to form an innovative Marae-based Justice Hub, Tai Aranui.
To receive services through Tai Aranui you must be referred via:

*With the exception of Te Waharoa, we also accept referrals directly from whānau, or from education providers
