    Delivering rongoā Māori services

    Once you are registered, you can work with us to deliver rongoā Māori to support our kiritaki in their rehabilitation from an injury.

    Watch the video to find out what you need to know before you start working with our kiritaki.

    Rongoā Māori can also be provided to kiritaki with a maternal birth injury. Find out about how to apply for the Maternal Birth Injury contract. Learn more

    Things to remember

    • Before you start to work with kiritaki, please first confirm they have a covered injury and their need for rongoā Māori relates to that injury (and not another condition).
