Te Rau Kōriri (TRK) is a multi-employer collective agreement (MECA) covering NZNO members employed by Māori and Iwi providers in the primary health sector:

Background of the Te Rau Kōriri campaign
On 27 November 2007 negotiations began for a MECA covering NZNO members employed by Māori and Iwi providers in the primary health sector.
The negotiations cover:
-
registered nurses
-
practice nurses
-
community nurses
-
community midwives
-
enrolled nurses
-
community health workers
-
health care assistants
-
social workers
-
administration staff
We must succeed in this goal to ensure the Māori and Iwi provider workforce is valued equitably and to encourage that workforce to remain in the vitally important Māori community health sector.
This is absolutely essential for the implementation of the Government’s primary health strategy and to improve health outcomes for Māori.
