Hauora is a high-priority issue for Māori. We are acutely aware of the inequity of resources and services available to Māori and seek to alleviate some of these disparities in the mahi we do as a Māori-led recruitment agency in this sector.
Tau Mai adhere to te ao Māori concepts of Hauora, meaning we are holistic in our approach with clients and candidates. In te ao Māori, hauora is not just about physical health, but also spiritual, social and mental well-being.
Let us guide you on a journey to recruit and support Māori talent in the Health sector, building your awareness of the kaupapa pertaining to Māori while helping you fill these important positions.
