Over the past two decades, New Zealand health care has grown more culturally aware, slowly incorporating practices that better cater to the needs of Maori.

Amohaere instigated changes in protocols around medical procedures to make them more culturally appropriate in Auckland''s general and children''s hospitals, established family accommodation in the children''s hospital, and implemented cultural processes alongside the hospital treatments. Through her work, Amohaere changed the way staff practised and people healed.
