This whare represents the relationships within the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO). The whare was chosen as it is something we believe everyone can relate to whether it be your own home, a hospital, community service centre, whare tupuna etc.

• The members are our foundation upon which everything else is built.
• Our ancestors, tupuna and kaumatua are our central pou - they hold the knowledge of where we have come from and teach us so that we may move forward.
• Te Runanga National Executive Komiti and the Board of Directors represent the overarching leadership and umbrella or korowai.
• Staff are also integrated here as they overarch and interrelate within all aspects of the organisation.
• The structures of the house are all dependent on one another to stand as a complete unit.

Our mahi and our relationships are reflected within the aims of our strategic plans.
