"The practice has also supported nursing and social work students who do their placement at Te Waiora," she said.
"We have the calibre of staff to provide support and guidance to those students."
Robinson said that the annual Whanau Ora Days have shown the community that Te Waiora is not just a medical practice, but a hub for holistic health and social services.
Robinson said Te Waiora would not have lasted the three years without the support from whanau hapu, iwi and community.
"Our strength is not that of an individual, but comes from the strength of many."
She said that Te Waiora's principals were based on the inherited values derived from Maori ancestry, including Manaakitanga, showing regard and respect for someone.
Robinson said this was expressed in how you answer the phone, how you greet someone with a smile or by using te reo Maori to greet a kuia or kaumatua.
"Te Waiora promotes, advocates and protects te reo Maori as the bearer of Maori knowledge, which is crucial to the existence of Maori culture across all generations," she said.
"Te reo occurs at karakia, commencing and ending meetings, powhiri, mihi whakatau and words in te reo feature alongside English in consultation rooms throughout Te Waiora."
However, the community practice has continually struggled to secure permanent GPs.
"Our operations manager/ kaiarahi Chris Clement is on the phone daily trying to recruit doctors," Robinson said.
"We would really like a female doctor."
