Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand has accomplished a great deal in a little over a year since our inception. In establishing a nation-wide health service and bringing together our kaimahi across Aotearoa New Zealand, we're well into building the foundations to support our success, and to ensure every New Zealander has access to world class healthcare.
Join us on our journey to transform Aotearoa, New Zealand’s health service.
Aotearoa, New Zealand has a highly skilled, dedicated and professional health workforce delivering exceptional care. However, there are opportunities to make improvements. We need to build a future health system that will perform better for all of us. A system underpinned by partnership, equity, sustainability, whānau-centred care, and excellence.
Firmly grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles, Te Whatu Ora serves all New Zealanders.
We’re shaping a future health system that will be simpler and more coordinated, allowing for better and more consistent care, and that will support all New Zealanders to live longer and have the best possible quality of life.
