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 whānau 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 whānau 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.

The Group Manager, Office of the Regional Wayfinder leads the team that is responsible for ensuring the Regional Commissioning Team operates as a high performing business unit. The team is responsible for coordination functions across the business unit including business planning, reporting, risk management, ministerial servicing, Regional Health Services Planning, managing the Regional Integration team (RIT) Secratriat, and emergency planning.
