Ko wai mātou - About Us
At Manatū Hauora we are the kaitiaki of the health system, providing leadership and driving strategy and performance. We regulate the health sector and are the primary source of advice on health matters.

As we move away from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic now is the time to look to the future, to ensure New Zealanders are cared for by a health system that is innovative, future focussed and world leading.

Ko tōu ake mahi - What You'll Do

Our Workforce Strategy and Policy team is looking for strategic thinkers and policy experts to support their work on the development of a health workforce strategy and other cross cutting workforce policy initiatives.

The health workforce is an integral part of the health system, no health service can be delivered, no person cared for, no health outcome achieved, without people.

People are our greatest asset and the enabler to improving the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders.

Manatū Hauora is developing a long-term health workforce strategy to guide system settings and ensure New Zealand has a sustainable, representative and responsive health workforce that can meet the future needs of people and whānau.
