Tui Dunlop

Ko Tui Rani Dunlop tōku ingoa, Ko Ngāpuhi nui tonu te iwi.

I am a proud māmā and aunty, with deep roots in the Pōneke community where I have worked for several years as a community worker, and more recently as an addiction practitioner. I am passionate about building a strong Māori health workforce, and my mahi has always centred on advocating for and supporting whānau Māori.

Currently, I work in the heart of Pōneke with women experiencing homelessness, providing addiction support. I’m honoured to be part of the Blueprint facilitation team, delivering Addiction 101 workshops across Aotearoa. These workshops are a powerful opportunity to raise awareness, deepen our collective understanding of addiction, and share practical tools to support healing in our communities. Mauri ora!
