We have designated Māori staff members who work determinedly and effectively in the background educating staff and informing management of issues. 


Their role also includes connecting with Māori hauora organisations and working collaboratively with government agencies to deliver on New Zealand’s He Korowai Oranga: Māori Health Strategy and more recently Whakamaua – Māori Health Action Plan 2020-2025.

By providing the best care for all

the people of Aotearoa today, and treating

every person with respect, we honour

the spirit and mana of Sibylla Maude.

Partnering with Māori / What are we doing about equity?

The Nurse Maude Hauora Māori Plan is designed to ensure that the Māori populations in the regions we serve, benefit equitably from Nurse Maude’s services. It is specifically designed to address our own development requirements to ensure our ability to achieve equitable service outcomes for Māori kiritaki.


Nurse Maude holds consumer hui each year for Maori and Pasifika. This initiative provides feedback about our services and assists in the development of service brochures that capture the interest of specific kiritaki (consumers).

Ethnicity data

We collect ethnicity data of kiritaki (consumers) to build a picture of the uptake of services and health outcomes of Māori (and Pasifika) so we can understand the disparities in healthcare delivery, and how they can be addressed.

Staff

  • Komiti Māori is for staff who whakapapa Māori and it is the place to bring up concerns, offer ideas and plan what needs to be done to promote and maintain Nurse Maude as an inclusive organisation for Māori.
  • Waiata lessons with te reo are held each month and are always lively, loud, full of fun and well attended by staff and volunteers.
  • Yearly training is offered on the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Community

Nurse Maude holds consumer hui each year for Maori and Pacific Peoples. This initiative provides feedback about our services and assists in the development of service brochures that capture the interest of specific kiritaki (consumers).
