**Nau mai kia tau mai,**:
Te Aka Whai Ora is a connection to the Māori ancestral world and a firm vision towards a healthy future for all.
- _Te Aka_ speaks to the endeavour to seek ancestral knowledge.
- _Whai Ora_ is to pursue health

In the pūrakau (ancient legend), when Tāwhaki ascended into heaven to attain the three baskets of knowledge, he also collected two mauri stones named ‘Hōkai nuku' and ‘Hōkai rangi'. These stones were seen as supporting the three baskets of knowledge, with one having the ability to look back into the past, while the other provided a vision into the future.

Te Aka Whai Ora and all its communities, whānau, and health providers are likened to Tāwhaki in seeking out ora or health and wellbeing.

As we navigate through our initial years of work, together with our partner Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ we represent a new and exciting future for health where we can achieve better health outcomes and wellbeing for all our people - _whakahiko i te oranga whānau_

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make the change that ensures we build on foundations set by those who have come before us, as we carry this mahi into the future.

We need people to join us on this growth journey as we create a 'future fit' team dedicated to ensuring we weave together our knowledge and skills in a combined effort to reach Te Pae Tawhiti, our Vision our Destination.

**_ The future_** Pae Tū - Hauora Māori Strategy sets out to enable culturally safe, whānau-centred and preventative primary health care where commissioning will be based on outcomes that matter to whānau now and in the future and will enable innovation and flexibility to mobilise and support whānau in ways that work for them and support sector sustainability. This will accelerate the delivery of kaupapa Māori and whānau-centred services.
- Ko te pae tawhiti, whāia kia tata. Ko te pae tata, whakamaua kia tina._

Seek out the distant horizons so that they may become close, bringing that vision to realisation.

**Te whiwhinga mahi**:
Set out to create positive change by commissioning health services with and for local communities.
