About us
We’re a team of health professionals, technologists and entrepreneurs with a vision to transform healthcare for current and future generations in Aotearoa.
Aotearoa's home for connected healthcare
Healthcare that connects
Tend is a New Zealand-owned primary care network, backed by iwi investors and here to make good healthcare simpler to reach. We look after whānau through medical centres across the motu and online GP consultations available 24/7 – so care fits around your life, not the other way around.
Our story
We started in 2020 with a straightforward belief: primary care should be easier to access, and better connected, than it is. Many of the medical centres in our network have cared for their communities for decades. What we've added is the thread that ties it all together – one platform for booking, consultations, results and your whānau's health records, wherever you are.
What makes us different
Our technology is purpose-built for primary care and designed alongside the clinicians who use it, not bolted on afterwards. That means less friction for patients and more time for the things that matter – the conversation, the diagnosis, the follow-through. Technology does the connecting so our teams can focus on the caring. This is what modern primary care looks like – and it's how we're helping build a healthcare system that can meet the needs of generations to come
Care for everyone
We're building a service that is equitable and accessible, designed around the communities we serve. That commitment runs through our ownership too. Iwi investors are Tend's largest shareholder group – Ngāi Tahu Holdings, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Nāti Growth (Ngāti Porou) and Ahuahu Group (Te Nehenehenui). They're intergenerational partners who share our purpose: better health outcomes for whānau, and healthcare that stays in New Zealand hands.
It's the care you need, when you need it.
