Read our website in te reo Māori

We are committed to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and this is one step toward doing that.

Māori have played a significant role in the New Zealand Defence Force. Historically, our forces have been 20% Māori. However, the proportion of Māori accessing entitlements from Veterans' Affairs is much less.

Our aim is to be open and supportive of Māori and to help them contact Veterans' Affairs to access the support and entitlements that they deserve.
