The voice of whānau and community in New Zealand Child and Youth Clinical Network

Kia ora, nau mai, haere mai

We are a group of health and advocacy professionals who represent the voice of whānau and community within the New Zealand Child and Youth Clinical Networks. We navigate and connect spaces between the community and the health system to improve health outcomes for taitamariki and whānau. 

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Te Tiriti partnership empowers Māori communities to be actively involved in policy decision-making in matters affecting Māori communities. Partnership within the Te Tiriti o  Waitangi ‘serves to describe a relationship where there is respect for others status and  authority in all walks of life’. This commitment requires the PSNZ to partner with Māori colleagues and organisations whose mahi is to improve outcomes for tamariki and rangatahi.
