Te Rāngai Hauora - Health

Incorporating te ao Māori

Toia mai te waka — pull the canoe forward together.

Hauora Māori is one of the most urgent priorities in Aotearoa today. The disparities in health outcomes for Māori are well documented — and addressing them requires a health workforce that is not only clinically capable, but culturally grounded. Tau Mai is committed to supporting that workforce.

We recruit Māori talent across the full spectrum of the health sector: from frontline clinical and community health roles to health management, policy, strategy, and leadership. We work with Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand, Māori health providers, iwi health boards, NGOs, and private health organisations — connecting them with candidates who understand hauora in its fullest sense.

In te ao Māori, hauora encompasses taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing), taha tinana (physical wellbeing), and taha whānau (family and social wellbeing). We bring this holistic understanding to every search we conduct — because the best Māori health professionals do too.

For Māori health professionals seeking their next role, we offer a recruitment experience that honours your whole self — your clinical skills, your cultural identity, and your commitment to Māori health equity. For health organisations, we help you build teams with the cultural capability to genuinely serve Māori communities.

Ka ora te iwi — the people will be well.
Let Tau Mai help you build the team to make that possible.
