Nau mai, haere mai! Maaori midwives!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Nau mai, haere mai! If you’re a Maaori midwife looking to support whaanau in the Counties Manukau rohe, we’d love for you to join our Maaori midwifery roopu. Our values of whakawhanaungatanga, manaakitanga, kotahitanga and rangatiratanga support our desire to meet the needs of our Maaori birthing population, which currently sits at 20.3% of total births.

We’re open to exploring the design of roles to suit midwifery practice. Come to us with a great career idea, or perhaps an innovative plan to further meet the needs of our whaanau.

For more information and to have a koorero on the midwifery opportunities in Counties, please contact heather.muriwai@middlemore.co.nz or visit our Careers website: bit.ly...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
