Nurse Maia Jeffries is a fictional character in the New Zealand TV drama Shortland Street. She is a nurse at the Shortland Street medical centre.
Her family moved from their quiet country orchard to the bustling environs of Ferndale when her father, Ian was diagnosed with the debilitating Motor Neurone Disease. He then had news that this was a misdiagnosis and he had Kennedy's Disease.
Maia's brother, Hamish Flynn, who she did not know because her mother had adopted him out at birth, made contact with her mother. He had briefly worked at the hospital for Huia Samuels. It turned out that her long-lost "brother" was really a con-man, out to scam her parents for their last penny.
She has been portrayed by Anna Jullienne since 2004.
