Update for National Professional Associations / Organizations with current MPDS contracts regarding - MPDS 2021/22 proposed launch date for on-line application by eligible Māori Health Providers & National Professional Associations / Organizations
Tēnā koutou,
Update for National Professional Associations / Organisations with current MPDS contracts regarding - MPDS 2021/22 proposed launch date for on-line application
The Ministry had to delay the launch of the Māori Provider Development Scheme (MPDS) for 2021/22 because of the complexities of the Covid-19 vaccine roll out. We acknowledge that the additional pressures being placed on providers involved in the roll out with the DHB’s was initially very intense, so a later launch of MPDS seemed appropriate. We appreciate everyone’s patience over this time regarding a later start for the next MPDS round.
Proposed Launch date:
It is expected that MPDS 2021/22 will launch on 30 June 2021 and close 30 July 2021. As usual, joint assessment hui with MoH internal teams will occur, followed by MPDS team leads with provider hui.
All MPDS Providers with current MPDS contracts will receive an e-mail panui from the Mpdsadministrator@health.govt.nz inbox, including a link to the Ministry’s website on 30 June 2021.

Maternal health literacy refers to the ability of mothers to access, understand, appraise, and apply information for the mother and child health care needs during pregnancy, at childbirth and in the postpartum period. Generally, the information available is very generic. Evidence suggests specific linguistic learning needs of hapū māmā that acknowledge their cultural content is often overlooked. As well, little attention is given to diverse ethnic communities, including refugees and pregnant women with disabilities.
The Ministry of Health consumer-facing parenting and pregnancy information webpages provides information to assist pregnant women to access, understand and appraise their midwifery care. We are interested in your views and invite you to respond to this survey:
