Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

Accident compensation and rehabilitation should ensure that whānau, hinengaro, tinana and wairua are upheld through those processes.

Social Responsibility:

Rehabilitation and compensation should be equitably applied for all people suffering impairment, regardless of whether that impairment has been caused by injury, illness or other disability.

Appropriate Decision-Making:

Assessments about health and quality of life should be based on expert advice, plus the lived experience of the individual and their whānau, which includes mātauranga Māori.
