Our direction for the next decade

Guided by our vision, Mana motuhake o te whānau hei oranga mō ngā uri whakatipu, the plan outlines a future where kaupapa Māori providers thrive, Māori leadership is strengthened, the health workforce embraces te reo and mātauranga Māori, and whānau can access timely, culturally grounded care and support.

Across five strategic priorities, Te Rau Ora will:

  • Set sector-leading standards for governance, leadership and organisational excellence.

  • Enable sector-led transformation and promote the achievements of iwi, kaupapa partners and providers.

  • Champion thought leadership, research and influence that advance Māori-led solutions.

  • Retain, grow and develop the hauora Māori workforce through education.

  • Nurture and grow the innovations needed to achieve enduring whānau wellbeing.

Together, we can enable a new era of hauora Māori, grounded in whānau voice, lived experience and mana motuhake.
