INTRODUCTION:
Public health education plays a critical role in addressing Indigenous health inequities and preparing graduates to practise in culturally safe, relational, and equity-oriented ways. Despite widespread commitments to Indigenous inclusion, Indigenous knowledges are frequently positioned as supplementary or discrete content rather than embedded within the structural foundations of curricula. This marginal positioning limits their pedagogical impact and risks perpetuating tokenistic approaches to decolonisation in public health.

METHODS:
This poster presents an outcomes-led curriculum transformation approach developed through Mātai Ako, a Te Tiriti o Waitangi-led initiative at Massey University in Aotearoa New Zealand. Grounded in Māori pedagogies and relational practice, the approach centres Indigenous knowledges within formal learning outcomes, pedagogical design, and assessment structures. Learning outcomes are a key lever for institutional accountability, curriculum coherence, and alignment across teaching and learning, alongside staff capability development and sustained Indigenous-institutional relationships.

RESULTS:
The approach provides concrete curriculum design examples, including learning outcomes that centre Indigenous knowledges, aligned pedagogical strategies that support relational and place-based learning, and assessment processes that explicitly value Indigenous ways of knowing and doing. These examples demonstrate how Indigenous knowledges can be scaffolded coherently across programmes rather than isolated within individual courses. The model also identifies common institutional constraints and the relational, structural, and professional enablers required to support sustainable curriculum transformation.

CONCLUSIONS:
Structurally embedding Indigenous knowledges within public health curricula is essential for advancing decolonised, equity-centred public health education. This project offers a transferable, outcomes-led framework that supports educators and institutions to move from aspiration to action, strengthening the public health workforce.
