Claudette Hauiti has taken over from National list MP Aaron Gilmore, who resigned from Parliament earlier in May following widespread criticism of his conduct at a Hanmer Springs hotel.
Mr Gilmore is alleged to have threatened to have a waiter sacked.
Ms Hauiti is a former television programme producer and had been working as a business consultant to independent Maori television production houses and with iwi organisations.
On Tuesday, National MP Paul Foster-Bell was also sworn in to Parliament to replace list MP Jackie Blue who resigned to become the new Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner.
