Te Horopaki ? The Background

 

Te Iti me te Rahi: Everyone Counts survey is being conducted by Te Rau Ora, with support from Infometrics. It provides baseline data and insights about the M?ori health workforce in Aotearoa. It is funded by Te Whatu Ora | Health New Zealand. The last survey was in 2018 and can be accessed here.

 

Survey findings will provide critical insights for workforce planning, investment, and policy development. They reinforce the importance of culturally responsive environments and equitable systems that support M?ori health professionals to thrive.

 

Te P?take - The Purpose

There is a general lack of detailed data on the experiences of M?ori health workers, considering future workforce priorities. The survey aims to understand on two key areas about the M?ori health workforce:

• Distribution across sectors, such as NGOs, DHBs, and mental health/addiction services
• Employment trends, career pathways, and professional development needs

 

Te Ara Tika ? An Ethical Approach

Participation in Te Iti me te Rahi survey is voluntary, anonymous. Completion of the survey indicates informed consent. No identifying information will be collected, ensuring participant confidentiality and the ethical integrity of the survey process.

 

The results will enable Te Rau Ora and its partners to compare trends in the M?ori health workforce to:

• Strengthen strategies and sector leadership that align health education and service delivery with M?ori aspirations and wellbeing
• Advance equity in health outcomes through targeted workforce development, research excellence, and meaningful learning opportunities for M?ori professionals

 

In sum, findings will provide critical insights for workforce planning, investment, and policy development to advance equitable systems that support M?ori health professionals to thrive.

 

 

Survey outcomes:

• Your input will directly inform strategies aimed at strengthening and growing the M?ori health workforce, ultimately enhancing M?ori health and wellbeing for future generations.
• Once the report is published it will be publicly available on the Te Rau Ora website.

 

Your voice makes a genuine difference.
