In your DHB there are systems and processes in place to help keep you safe in the event of a fire.

As a staff member you are part of these processes so it is important that you know what to do and can act immediately should you hear a fire alarm or see a fire in your area.


Every month, we gather to extend a warm pōwhiri, a traditional Māori welcome ceremony, to our new staff members joining the Tairawhiti health community. This seminar serves not only as an induction but also as a comprehensive training session, reinforcing the importance of cultural competence in our workplace.

Through these sessions, our goal is to immerse new staff members in Māori culture and values, emphasizing the importance of cultural understanding in providing holistic healthcare in Tairawhiti.

Please ensure your manager has approved you attending the Powhiri and Cultural Training prior to signing up
