Working at Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora

Who we are

We are the Government organisation that provides publicly funded universal health care across 19 unique districts in New Zealand.

'Te Whatu Ora' translates from our indigenous Māori language to 'the weaving of wellness'; which is what we are all about in our holistic delivery of world-class care for the health and wellbeing of the 5 million Kiwis in our communities.

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora has an open approach to improving outcomes for our patients. Our multi-disciplinary collaborative way of working fosters a positive work environment where all members of our team feel supported and empowered. 

Our commitment to you

We are dedicated to building a team that is representative of the communities that we are serving. We are committed to supporting health equity in our communities. Our kaimahi (staff) thrives on the diversity and inclusion of all perspectives and cultures, and we welcome individuals from all backgrounds and lived experiences.

Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora has programmes and facilities available to both protect and improve our teams’ physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. We know that you do your best work when you’re feeling your best, so it’s important to us that this is a priority.
