Matariki Values Awards

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini, takomano e!

My success is not the result of my own efforts alone, but due to the efforts of many. 

The Matāriki Values Awards are one of the ways we recognise and celebrate the dedication of our people to improving Māori health outcomes.

The Awards are held during Matāriki, the Māori New Year, which begins with the rising of the Matāriki star cluster.
