Respect
You’ll be treated with respect by our team. This includes respect for your culture, values and beliefs, as well as your right to personal privacy.
Fair treatment
At Tend, you’ll be free from any form discrimination, coercion, harassment, and exploitation. We’ll never pressure you into making a decision or choice you’re uncomfortable with, or object to..
Dignity and independence
Tend is designed to support you to live a dignified and independent life.
Proper standards
You have the right to be treated with care and skill, and to receive services that reflect your needs. All those involved in your care should work together for you.
Communication
You have the right to be listened to, understood and receive information in whatever form you need. When it’s necessary and practicable, we’ll make an interpreter available to support you.
Information
You have the right to be fully informed about your healthcare, including having your condition explained and to be told what your choices are. This includes how long you may have to wait, an estimate of any costs, and likely benefits and side effects. You can ask any questions to help you to be fully informed.
It’s your decision
Your health decisions are yours to make. You have the right to receive accurate and thorough health information prior to making any decision. Your decision is totally up to you, with our support as you need it.
Support
You have the right to have someone with you to lend support during your Tend consultation, and we want to ensure you feel supported every step of the way. If you need an interpreter, please let us know and we can arrange this for you. We can also work with NZ Relay if you have a hearing impairment. You can contact an advocate through the Nationwide Health & Disability Advocacy Service.
Test results
We know your test results are important to you. We’ll make contact with you via a Tend message to share your results, even if your results are normal. On occasion and when appropriate, we may call you to discuss any results and next steps.
Teaching and research
You have the right to choose whether you are involved in any teaching or research with Tend.
Complaints
It’s OK to complain – your feedback helps to improve our service. If you want to pursue a complaint process, we’ll make it easy for you to do so, and this will never have an adverse effect on the way you’re treated. We always strive to provide you with the best experience, but if we don’t get something quite right, we want to know!
If you would like to lay a complaint, this can be done in-person at the clinic, over the phone, via email at hello@tend.nz, or by sending a message through the Tend app. We can supply a full copy of our complaints policy upon request.

Ōu mōtika ina whakamahi koe i tētahi ratonga hauora, hauātanga rānei
Tekau ō mōtika i raro i te Rārangi Mōtika. Koia ēnei ngā mōtika:
Kia manaakitia koe hei tangata.
Kia manaakitia koe, kia kaua koe e tāmia e wai rānei, kia kaua hoki e tūkinotia e te kaikiri o te tangata.
Kia hāpainga tō rangatiratanga, me tō mana motuhake.
Kia taea e koe ngā ratonga whai tikanga, ā, kia tika te taurima i a koe, me te teitei o ngā pūkenga o te hunga manaaki i a koe.
Kia tae katoa mai ngā kōrero ki mua i tō aroaro mā roto i tētahi huarahi whakamōhio ngāwari ki te whakarongo, kia tino taea ai tō kōrerorero tahi ki te kaiwhakahaere o taua ratonga.
Kia tino tae ake ngā kōrero whai pānga ki mua i a koe mō tō hauora me tō hauatanga; te āhua o te ratonga e horahia ana, ngā ingoa me ngā tūranga o ngā kaimahi, me ngā kōrero katoa mō ngā whakamātautau me ngā whakahaere e tika ana mōu, me ngā hua o aua whakamātautau ina puta ake ana. I Aotearoa nei, e whakamanawatia ana ngā tāngata kia patapatai, kia inoi hoki ki ētahi atu kōrero kia mōhio ai rātou he aha te aha.
Kia riro māu anō e whakatau ngā tikanga tiaki i a koe, kia huri hoki koe i tō whakatau, kia haere ki huarahi kē.
Kia noho mai he kaitautoko i tō taha i te nuinga o te wā.
Kia pā tonu ēnei mōtika katoa, ki te inoia koe kia uru ki tētahi rangahautanga, ki tētahi wāhanga whakangungu kaimahi rānei.
Kia āhei koe te whakatakoto whakapae, ā, kia āta tirohia hoki tō whakapae.
Kia manaakitia koe, kia kaua koe e tāmia e wai rānei, kia kaua hoki e tūkinotia e te kaikiri o te tangata.
