National Evaluation of Kia Ora Hauora
Project Background
Kia Ora Hauora Māori is a national programme aimed to promote careers for Māori in the health and disability sector. Kia Ora Hauora was established in 2009 in response to the national and international shortage of health sector workers and the demand for more Māori health professionals. Kia Ora Hauora is led by four District Health Board (DHB) hubs which actively deliver the programme within their rohe. They are, Northern, Midlands, Central and Te Waipounamu. Kia Ora Hauora provides support and programmes to motivate, engage and recruit Māori secondary and tertiary students, current Māori health workers, and Māori community members in health-careers, both clinical and non-clinical.
" Support is everything. I am thankful to know I am important in this world and that I matter. Kia Ora Hauora gives me that feeling. Nga mihi maioha”

Find out how we can help you
We’ll work with you to find out what’s working, where investment could be put to best use or how to improve anything not going to plan. We can help you define success and set tangible, measurable goals. And we talk in real language so you can understand and engage with the findings. We engage with the community to conduct community research and consultations for private companies, trusts, government agencies, NGOs and more. But we have a special interest in research that has a purpose - to better society and teach lessons. We aim to help those we work with build capacity to enact positive change.
