Allied health

For Pacific allied professionals new to working at Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley, this is an opportunity to join the Allied Professions Lead for Pacific Peoples Health for a 30 to 45 minute session. During this time you will learn more about the cultural supports available to you within the district, discover national networks, such as the Pacific Allied Health Aotearoa New Zealand (external link) (PAHAnz) group, and gain insight into the Pacific Health services available that can assist Pacific patients and their aiga (family) during their in-patient stay and upon discharge if required.

An email group for Pacific allied professionals working at Capital Coast and Hutt Valley to stay updated on important Health NZ | Te Whatu Ora news. You'll receive information about district, regional and national professional development opportunities, scholarships related to the Pacific community, local openings in allied professions and health care assistant roles to share with your networks. Additionally, you'll be informed about leadership opportunities for career advancement.

Every quarter (every three months) we hold an in-person gathering for all Pacific allied professionals at one of the hospital sites: Kenepuru, Wellington Regional or Hutt Hospital. To maximise participation, we have made these sessions available on Microsoft Teams also. These gatherings provide a valuable opportunity to meet other Pacific allied professionals and staff members, talanoa and build connections.
