Details

Koutou te nui, te rahi, te whakamataku – tēnā koutou katoa. Tēnei mātou o Te Kaporeihana Āwhina Hunga Whara e mihi atu nei. Nau mai te whakaarotahi. Tēnā koutou!

We’re working in new ways to ensure injured Māori have greater access to services, improved experiences of ACC care, and better health outcomes. We want to provide whānau with a choice of services that deliver culturally appropriate care and uphold our obligations to Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi).

Starting in 2021, in partnership with Māori, we’ll begin developing a new ACC pathway – Kaupapa Māori Health Services. These services will be regionally based, to deliver to the needs of haukāinga (local people), and available to ACC clients of all ethnicities. The design of the services in each rohe (region) will be Māori-led, by local kaupapa Māori practitioners. We define kaupapa Māori services as: indigenous, localised, whānau-centred solutions designed by Māori, with Māori, underpinned by tikanga and delivered by suppliers who identify as Māori, primarily for Māori, but available to all.

He mea ārahi nā te Māori anō
Māori-led design
We are partnering with Māori suppliers and iwi with ACC clients and whānau to develop ACC Kaupapa Māori Health Services within each rohe of Aotearoa. A panel of suppliers will be established through an open procurement process to work with us to design and plan how we operationalise these services.
