Providing rehabilitation, recovery and respite to our people, who – as a result of their role in safeguarding and caring for New Zealanders – have physical or psychological injuries. We enable our people and their families to continue healthy, positive lives

Te Kiwi Māia delivers targeted wellness programmes that support the rehabilitation, recovery, and ongoing wellbeing of New Zealand’s defence personnel, veterans, first responders, and their immediate families. Through structured wellness weeks, workshops, and peer-supported initiatives, we provide access to professional support, practical tools, and a safe, inclusive environment where individuals can reset, reconnect, and rebuild.

Our programmes are designed to address the real and evolving challenges faced by those in service supporting mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing through a combination of clinical expertise, peer connection, and meaningful activities.

We work alongside existing organisations, complementing the support already in place, and recognising that those who serve our communities often require additional, specialised care.

Looking ahead, our long-term goal is to establish a dedicated wellness and recovery facility here in New Zealand, providing a permanent space where individuals and their families can access ongoing support, step away from operational pressures, and focus on their recovery in a purpose-built environment.

At its core, Te Kiwi Māia exists to support those who have spent their lives safeguarding others, ensuring they too have the opportunity to live healthy, supported, and fulfilling lives.
