Celebrating Matariki
This Friday, 10 July 2026, Aotearoa New Zealand has a public holiday to celebrate Mānawatia a Matariki – a time of reflection, celebration and preparation.
As Māori follow the Māori lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar, the dates for Matariki change every year. In 2026, we celebrate Matariki from 9 to 11 July, with the public holiday on 10 July.
Welcoming our new Board members
This month’s Board | te Poari meeting was joined by two new members, layperson Martine Abel‐Williamson QSM and physiotherapist Kore Tombs.
Despite coming from quite different backgrounds both Martine and Kore have been motivated by their values and sense of public service to lend their skills and experience to the profession.
Performance review report
Under section 122 of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 (HPCA Act), the Manatū Hauora | Ministry of Health reviews how effectively and efficiently the Physiotherapy Board Te Poari and any other health regulatory authority is performing its functions.
