This means: 

• Redesigning commissioning, funding and service delivery to actively eliminate inequities and achieve equitable health outcomes for Māori.
• Growing and sustaining kaupapa Māori providers through equitable, population-based and long-term funding that reflects the true cost of delivering whānau-centred care.
• Embedding Māori leadership across the health system, ensuring Māori have authority and influence in executive leadership, clinical leadership, governance and workforce planning.
• Success must be measured by equitable outcomes for Māori, with transparent reporting and real accountability mechanisms requiring health organisation to demonstrate measurable progress in reducing disparities in access, quality, experience and health outcomes.
• Recognising iwi, hapū and Māori communities as partners in health planning, prevention and service delivery, enabling locally determined solutions that reflect community aspirations.
• Ensuring every nurse is supported and accountable to practise in ways that uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi, demonstrate cultural safety, address institutional racism, and work in partnership with whānau.
• Recognising that achieving health equity requires action beyond the health sector, with coordinated investment across housing, education, income, employment and environmental wellbeing to address the wider social determinants of health.
