About us
The Moko Foundation is a non-profit charitable trust established to build a better Aotearoa- New Zealand through Health, Leadership and Education.
Founded in 2011 by Former New Zealander of the Year, Dr. Lance O’Sullivan and Tracy MacFarlane, the Moko Foundation continues to better and influence lives and communities around the country.
Our track record continues to grow as we’ve seen hundreds of rangatahi pass through our leadership programmes and gain access to an exclusive network or mentors and support.
In 2020, we welcomed iMoko Health Services to the Moko Foundation with building the capacity of providing health care to thousands of tamariki in our communities.
Waharoa ki te Toi is a Kaitaia based research centre whose overarching principle is to create new knowledge to produce better health outcomes. It is a unique partnership model between the MOKO Foundation and the Maurice Wilkins Centre, which is a New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence that brings together over 150 of the country’s top scientists and clinicians from across our top Universities.

Kia ora e te iwi,
As part of our health research partnership with the University of Auckland we would like to promote to an online survey that is collecting data about how closely the diet of New Zealand adults reflects a Mediterranean-style diet and its effect on metabolic health outcomes.

NZ MED DIET
Researchers at the Universities of Auckland and Otago are interested in finding out how closely the diet of New Zealand adults reflects a Mediterranean-style diet depending on individual risk of metabolic disease. In addition, we would like to know:
1. What Mediterranean-style foods would New Zealand adults be willing to include in their normal diet.
2. By including these Mediterranean-style foods, how this leads to change in current habitual dietary patterns.
This information will allow us to understand how to design a larger study that will facilitate dietary changes that improve the metabolic health of New Zealand adults.
Please follow the link below to the survey:
