Nau mai, Haere mai
Welcome to Tautoko Options
We are a people organisation that believes everyone needs tautoko (support) to live their life. The quality of our work comes from learning and developing together with people who choose our service. Whanaungatanga (connections and relationships) are at the heart of our organisation.
How did we
get here?
Joining Together for Good
This year is our ten-year anniversary since Tautoko Services and Options (in Community Living) joined forces. It has made me pause to reflect on the past 10 years from my perspective of starting up Options in 1997 and then being part of Tautoko Options…
We had pragmatic reasons for merging because as small organisations determined to put people we support at the centre of everything we do, we were vulnerable to market forces.
Working Together for Change Survey 2024
Our support teams can be very proud of the feedback from people who choose our service. We received responses from 108 people which was really awesome! Our first two measures reflect our values by working in partnership with people to do what is important to them.
The third measure shows how we have made a difference in people’s lives through our person-centred approaches:
How we work alongside people?
