Health workforce initiatives

We are partnering with the health and education sectors to develop a student placement system that is designed nationally, supported regionally and coordinated locally.

It's a requirement in the Children’s Act 2014 for all existing, non-core children’s workers to have passed an appropriate check to work with children.

This information is used to inform strategic and operational workforce analysis, development and planning at the local, regional and national level.

Training and support for the online student placement system

The Whāngaitia Health Cadetship is a partnership between the Ministry of Social Development and Health NZ that creates pathways for working in the health sector.
