Kaupapa inquiries
Kaupapa (thematic) inquiries are not specific to any district. They deal with nationally significant issues affecting Māori as a whole.

- Māori Military Veterans

- Health services and outcomes
- Mana Wahine and Mana Tane
- Education services and outcomes
- Identity and culture
- Natural resources and environmental management
- Social services, social development and housing
