Māori health careers

Under Te Tumu Whakarae, Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Hauora a Toi Bay of Plenty has a commitment to increasing Māori participation in the workforce.

Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu

Workforce development is crucial in achieving Toi Ora. We seek a workforce that cares about caring for our people, for our hapū and our iwi. A workforce that values and demonstrates mātauranga Māori. A workforce that knows how to be an authentic Tiriti partner.

We know that many Māori prefer Māori health workers and Māori health workers often work best for Māori communities. Therefore, we need more Māori health professionals to meet the needs of our growing Māori population, both clinical and non-clinical. Currently Māori nurses are in the highest demand.

Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand Hauora a Toi Bay of Plenty works in partnership with Kia Ora Hauora to increase the overall number of Māori working in the health and disability sector in response to the national shortage of health sector workers - and the demand for more Māori health professionals in that sector.
