Te Rūnanga o Aotearoa represents the concerns and interests of Māori members. It leads NZNO in the development of policy pertaining to Māori and provides advice about implementation. A priority is to ensure that essential Tikanga is upheld and that the wider kaupapa of the organisation reflects Te Rūnanga values.

With its increasing profile, it is represented regionally, nationally and internationally in various health forums. Te Rūnanga and the NZNO Board of Directors continue to engage in dialogue regarding partnership.
