Puna rauemi - cultural resources
The name of this section (Te Puna Rauemi o te ao Māori ǀ Puna Rauemi for short) means: the pool of resources from the Māori world.
This space holds useful cultural resources, including links to further information for health practitioners (graduating, registered and international seeking registration in Aotearoa New Zealand).
We acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand; we’re contributing to efforts that support equitable outcomes for Māori, and the removal of barriers to achieve equity; we’re striving to build strong and enduring relationships with Māori, to guide and support our regulatory work.
For more about how we plan to achieve this, and what we’re doing now/done already, view our latest Annual report 2024, and the Strategic Plan 2023-2026 under Resources/publications.
