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

At Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora we acknowledge and respect our people's diversity and spiritual needs, ensuring a safe workplace that is a whānau orientated and supportive environment.
