Consultation closes on Tuesday 24 March 2026.
MCNZ is consulting on two draft statements that set expectations for how doctors provide culturally competent and culturally safe care and support equitable health outcomes.
The draft statements cover:
- cultural competence and cultural safety
- hauora Māori (Māori health and wellbeing).
These statements are intended to replace the current 2019 Statement on cultural safety and will form part of Council’s standards for all doctors.
All the information is here.
We encourage everyone to take part.
You may also feedback directly to NZAGS at info@nzags.co.nz. We are also consulting with RACS.
