Donate this tax-time to support the Waka Ora Health Shuttle service.

Delivered by volunteers and funded mostly by donations, the Waka Ora Health Shuttle service connects thousands of New Zealanders with their important medical appointments.

They include the elderly, people with disabilities, and those managing serious conditions such as cancer and diabetes, that require multiple appointments. Many also live in remote or rural communities with limited public transport available.

Demand for this vital shuttle service is ever-increasing, along with the costs of keeping it on the road.


Right now, Hato Hone St John needs your help to purchase a new Waka Ora Health Shuttle and support running costs towards the nationwide fleet.

Donate by 31 March 2025 and you could claim 1/3 of your gift back as tax rebate.

Your donation will be matched* by a group of exceptionally generous supporters – so it will go twice as far to purchase lifesaving equipment.

Help keep a lifeline going for people like Margaret and Pat. 

Margaret and her husband Pat are a loving couple doing their best to look after each other. But they’ve had a tough few years with their health.

Pat is still learning to walk again after a massive stroke. Margaret has been his devoted carer since it happened – on top of facing breast cancer herself.

They can’t drive any more, and there’s no public transport or taxis in their small Hawke’s Bay town of Wairoa.

The Waka Ora Health Shuttle service is the only way they can get to their many medical appointments.


Will you please make a tax-deductible gift to help ensure New Zealanders like Pat and Margaret can continue to count on this service?

Roger goes the extra mile to care for his community. Will you help him?

Roger was as Paramedic in Wairoa for 37 years, and now volunteers as a Waka Ora Health Shuttle driver.

He’s known most of his clients for decades, and loves being able to support them. Many have serious, ongoing health conditions and couldn’t get the medical care they need without the Waka Ora Health Shuttle service.

Your generosity is vital to keeping this life-changing service going for Roger’s clients – and many more people who depend on it across New Zealand.

Please donate by 31 March 2025 to keep it going.
