Manu Aute

Community Voice & Systems Change

Manu Aute works to amplify the voices, aspirations and wellbeing of whānau, hapū and iwi across the health and social service sector. From a Te Ao Māori and whānau-centric lens, our team embed community voice and lived experience in submissions, projects, wānanga, social media and other platforms to advocate and contribute to system change. We work alongside providers, partners, government agencies and iwi leadership to influence equitable outcomes and strengthen Māori-led solutions.

Our role is to ensure Māori perspectives are visible, respected and embedded in the decisions that shape health and social wellbeing across Aotearoa.
