Whaowhia te kete mātauranga – ASHM/IUSTI World Congress 2024

Whakauae Intern Lead, Logan Hamley recently attended the Australasian HIV & AIDS Conference and the 25th IUSTI World Congress, incorporating the Australasian Sexual and Reproductive Health Conference, in Gadigal Country (Sydney). These two conferences represented an opportunity for transdisciplinary and action-oriented work looking to virtually eliminate HIV transmission and address high rates of STIs within Oceania. The conferences took place across one week, with an array of health practitioners, policymakers, and researchers gathering to share insights.

I had the opportunity to complete an internship with Whakauae Research that involved carrying out a systematic literature review of Māori Health leadership.

We are the only iwi-owned Māori health research centre in Aotearoa.

Our Values
Ngā Tikanga

As the only iwi-owned Māori health research centre in Aotearoa New Zealand, we work under the direct guidance of a governance board of elected iwi members who further strengthen the ties between Whakauae and Ngāti Hauiti.
Our values, Ngā Tikanga o Whakauae, are inherently linked to the values of our founders Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hauiti. They provide an essential guide to our conduct with internal and external stakeholders, funders or commissioners of research, partners, and research participants.
