Nau mai, haere mai! Maaori midwives!
Nau mai, haere mai! If you’re a Maaori midwife looking to support whaanau in the Counties Manukau rohe, we’d love for you to join our Maaori midwifery roopu. Our values of whakawhanaungatanga, manaakitanga, kotahitanga and rangatiratanga support our desire to meet the needs of our Maaori birthing population, which currently sits at 20.3% of total births.
We’re open to exploring the design of roles to suit midwifery practice. Come to us with a great career idea, or perhaps an innovative plan to further meet the needs of our whaanau.
For more information and to have a koorero on the midwifery opportunities in Counties, please contact heather.muriwai@middlemore.co.nz or visit our Careers website: bit.ly...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
