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.
