Explanatory notes
1
Definitions of Māori words will be those relevant and in common usage in a hauora
context. However, the local iwi or hapū must verify the local dialect.

Definitions
Hauora means the appropriate practices associated with the holistic wellbeing of an
individual as a member of a whānau, hapū, and iwi. For the purpose of this unit
standard, these practices are determined by service providers or entities that operate
within a hauora context.
Hauora context refers to hauora service provision for Māori.
Concepts and key dimensions refer to the tikanga, characteristics, and key features
specific to a particular Māori model of health. For example, in te Whare Tapa Whā
these would be taha wairua, taha tinana, taha hinengaro, taha whānau.
3
Workplace practices and procedures refer to the documented procedures of the
hauora service provider and must comply with current industry standards and
relevant legislation.

Legislation and conventions relevant to this unit standard may include but are not
limited to: the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992; Standards for Traditional
Māori Healing (Wellington: Ministry of Health, 1999); and the Health and Disability
Commissioner (Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights)
