Te Ārai is a palliative care research group with a focus on equity.

We are a research community of Māori and non-Māori working in partnership.

Te Ārai Kāhui Kaumātua (Māori Elder Advisors) support and guide
our work.

“Anō nei he pōukutukawa korua, e whātoro ana I ōno here. Ki ōna takiaho. E hii au te kaha.”


Just as the pōhutukawa, whose roots seek out those of its kind to be strong, so must we cling to each other.
