Community and Public Health becoming part of the new National Public Health Service

The New Zealand health system transition began on 1st July 2022.

Community and Public Health will become part of the new National Public Health Service (NPHS) within Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand. Our staff will continue to provide the same services until further notice.

Community and Public Health stopped providing an Elderly Falls Prevention programme from 1st January 2009.
