The weaving of wellness

Established on 1 July 2022, Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora leads the day-to-day running of the health system across Aotearoa, with functions delivered at local, district, regional, and national levels. It weaves the functions of the 20 former District Health Boards into its regional divisions and district offices, ensuring continuity of services in the health system.

Health New Zealand manages all health services, including hospital and specialist services, and primary and community care. Hospital and specialist services are planned nationally so they can be delivered more consistently across the country. It also manages national contracts. Primary health, wellbeing and community-based services are planned and then purchased through the four regional divisions of Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora.

Each Region works with their District offices, located closer to local communities, to develop and implement plans based on local needs to improve the health and wellbeing of communities.

Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora is also responsible for improving services and equitable outcomes across the health system. We will do this while upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Te Whatu Ora is “the weaving of wellness”.
