Te Au Reka - Improving access to justice for all New Zealanders

Te Au Reka represents the opportunity of a lifetime, making a profound difference to those who work in and interact with our courts and tribunals.

In delivering Te Au Reka, we are seeking to build the Ministry's capability to deliver complex programmes of change.
