Nau mai, haere mai.

To mark this milestone year for Te ORA, Hui-ā-Tau & Scientific Conference will return to Waipapa Marae, University of Auckland, the site of our very first hui.

Titiro whakamuri, kōkiri whakamua
Look back and reflect, so we can move forward.

We will pay tribute to those whose mahi paved the way for Māori medical leadership and made it possible for Māori voices to be heard and valued within medicine and across the wider health sector.

We will also look to the future with hope. To the new generation of rata and tauira who represent the dreams and aspirations of those early Māori practitioners; they are the driving force for the transformational change our people need.

Over three days, we will celebrate what it means to thrive as Māori in medicine — across our past, present, and future. This is an opportunity to socialise, connect, learn, and contribute to the future of Māori health in an uplifting space.

Please note: The Awards Dinner is not included in conference registration this year and requires a separate ticket.

The programme includes:

Medical Careers Expo (expo space will be open for the full event)
Annual General Meeting & Wānanga
Scientific Conference
Te ORA Awards Dinner (separate ticket required — not included in conference registration)
Whakawhanaungatanga

UPDATE: Tamariki Programme

We had been working to provide a formal tamariki programme as part of Hui-ā-Tau this year. Unfortunately, some of the arrangements we had in place have fallen through and, at this stage of planning, we have been unable to secure an appropriate alternative that meets the requirements for a safe and suitable programme.

Tamariki and whānau are still very welcome to attend the hui, and we will have space available for tamariki. We simply ask that tamariki remain under the supervision of a parent, guardian or caregiver throughout the hui.

We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding.

If you're planning to bring tamariki, please complete the tamariki registration for each individual so we can understand numbers and ages.

Discounted Accommodation
Delegates are welcome to book accommodation at Cordis for Hui-ā-Tau, with a discounted rate available. To keep the booking code for delegates only, details will be shared by email directly with registered attendees. Please reach out directly if you require the accommodation link prior to registering.
