Te whiwhinga mahi The Opportunity
The Pae Ora legislation gives us the mandate and opportunity to create a system of commissioning that has the needs of whanau and communities at its heart.
In this new model, we are not commissioners holding the power. We are Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners and allies, we are listeners of diverse voices, we are holders of the space for communities and whanau to lead.
We are a team of teams who live within and reflect the communities we serve.
We are responsible for designing community-based systems of care, agreeing health and wellbeing plans, executing those plans, and monitoring outcomes which then feed into the design process.
We work in partnership with our Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora colleagues to shape system-wide public health services across the motu.
Localities and locality planning are a new feature of the reformed health system and will play an important role in primary and community healthcare, the wider health system, and in social sector integration.
The Group Manager, Localities leads the team (in partnership with Te Aka Whai Ora) responsible for the effective design and implementation of localities, partnering with IMPBs, health providers, wider social sector funders and providers, local government, and communities.
