Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity


The National Public Health Service (NPHS) within Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora, work towards Pae Ora (healthy futures) for all by engaging with the wider determinants that impact people's health, focusing on oranga/wellbeing, prevention, protection, and population-level intervention.

We are connected across boundaries to deliver public health services that are nationally planned, regionally delivered and locally tailored.


The Intelligence Directorate is a new structure, a central population and public health operational Intelligence team that is regionally networked and collaborative across organisations and agencies.

The establishment of the Intelligence directorate in NPHS gives us the opportunity to review our data, analytical techniques, and products, to ensure we are honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Our data and products need to be informative and interpretable; they also need to reflect the voices and stories of our communities.

Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora supports flexible and hybrid working for our kaimahi.

Nau mai, uru mai | Come and join us
When you join us, you become part of transforming the health system.

This is a once in a life-time change, that will touch the lives of everyone in Aotearoa, and future generations.

Our name, Te Whatu Ora, means 'the weaving of wellness'. Whatu is the combining together of people, resources, organisations, thoughts and actions for the betterment and wellbeing of all.

Whatu is also a direct reference to the pupil of the eye, and the vision required of the new entity and system.


We are working towards a system that better meets the complex demands of a growing population, addresses the persistent inequalities experienced by Māori and ensures greater access, experience, and outcomes for those traditionally not well served by the system - Māori, Pacific, and Disabled People.
