Level

Purpose
The National Diploma in Hauora (Māori Health) (Level 6) [Ref: 1657] builds on the skills
and knowledge recognised by the National Certificate in Hauora (Māori Health) (Level 4)
[Ref: 0710].
This national diploma is intended for candidates who choose to further enhance their
knowledge and skills in Hauora. It recognises advanced knowledge and skills related to
Māori health initiatives such as auahi kore, tamariki ora, counselling, youth work, whānau
ora, and drug and alcohol work.
Candidates will be able to maintain professional working relationship with tūroro and their
whānau, and work within a framework for professional practice informed by knowledge and
skills in the application and implementation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi within a hauora context.
The compulsory section is designed to assess a broad range of skills including: research
to determine a health priority for Māori; the impact of current government policies on
hauora Māori employees; an analysis of the effectiveness of primary health care providers’
services in meeting hauora needs of Māori; intervention strategies to reduce the risk of
Māori placing themselves in at-risk situations; and research into traditional and
contemporary hauora practices.
The elective section allows candidates to further specialise in different aspects of Hauora
within Community and Social Services, Health, Humanities and Field Māori.
Tikanga pertinent to local rohe is interwoven through all practices of Hauora, including any
interaction with whānau, hapū, iwi within a Hauora context. It also permeates any study of
Māori models of health, or Māori history and best practice models within a Hauora context.
Candidates will have the advanced skills and knowledge required to provide Hauora
services delivered by primary and secondary health services, social services, community
support services, health providers, Māori health providers, mainstream health services,
institutions, marae, community centres and local clinics.
The National Certificate in Hauora (Māori Health) (Level 4) [Ref: 0710] leads to this
qualification.
Whilst this qualification does not lead on to any other New Zealand qualifications, it may
pathway to other Hauora qualifications, such as Poutuarongo Oranga Hinengaro (Level 7)
[Ref: RK0054]; Poutuarongo Oranga Hinengaro (Level 7) [Ref: RK0054]; or Te Ohanga
Mataora Paetahi: Bachelor of Health Sciences Maori (Nursing) [Ref: AW1317].
