      Abstract
      It is well known that Māori are overrepresented

      within the client group of

      psychologists. Despite ongoing attempts to

      recruit and retain more Māori within the

      discipline of psychology, the numbers of

      Māori psychologists continues to remain

      low, raising serious concerns about the

      ability of the profession to effectively meet

      the needs of its clientele. The objectives of this study were to

      identify the, barriers to, and incentives for improving the recruitment and retention

      of Māori in the profession of

      psychology and Māori to gain and maintain registration

      as psychologists. This paper is

      based on the full report provided to the

      New Zealand Psychologists’ Board. The findings in this study

      clearly demonstrate that in order to attract

      Māori to participate in psychology, the

      majority of environments need to change

      substantially. It is simply not enough for

      organisations, whether they are educational, professional, or service delivery agencies,

      to identify the need for more Māori

      psychologists, yet still fail to commit to,

      and actively engage in, altering long

      identified environmental factors that are

      barriers to Māori participation.
