Our understanding of kaupapa Māori solutions: Indigenous, localised, whānau-centred solutions designed by Māori, with Māori, underpinned by tikanga and delivered by providers who identify as Māori, primarily for Māori, but available to all.

Mahi tahi

Partnering for wellbeing

We are partnering with Māori specialists to establish new ACC kaupapa Māori solutions that enable whānau to live well and, if injured, to access services that are culturally safe and appropriate, as defined by Māori.

Tō mātou tūāpapa

Our foundation

We understand that to do better for Māori we need to do things differently. We will partner with Māori to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi and commit to achieving equitable wellbeing outcomes for Māori. 

We want to ensure whānau have options in the care and initiatives available to them. We recognise that localised approaches to service design and delivery are best placed to meet the specific needs of hapori (communities) and support them to participate fully in their hauora (health) and oranga (wellbeing). 

Tērā e whāia ana

What we're seeking

We're seeking to design:

• kaupapa Māori initiatives with a focus on the prevention of sexual violence through the promotion of mana-enhancing and tapu-enriched relationships 

• kaupapa Māori hauora (health) and rehabilitation services with a focus on supporting kiritaki (clients) with complex injuries and a high level of need (including, but not limited to, kiritaki who have experienced serious injuries and sexual violence). 

Once the design of these solutions are approved, we’ll seek kaupapa Māori providers to deliver the initiatives and services. Later, we’ll consider other wellbeing initiatives and services to support other injury types.
