Our mission
Safe, fit for purpose health facilities, sites and equipment are essential for a well-functioning health system.
We have brought our public hospital buildings together into one portfolio. As the single owner we can ensure that the health estate supports the delivery of services and we invest to improve the health of all New Zealanders.
We will lead investment by understanding and manging these well, ensuring health facilities, sites and equipment with the highest need of investment are prioritised and standardising the way these are maintained, refurbished or redeveloped.
What we do
We are currently planning, monitoring or delivering more than 100 projects around the country to support the regions and districts, including:
- essential refurbishments and reconfigurations
- new Special Care Baby Units
- essential infrastructure improvements (like electricity and water); and
- brand new hospitals, such as the $1.4 billion hospital currently under construction in Dunedin.

Asset management and analysis
Asset management expertise, ensuring the state of assets is understood to drive asset investment decisions where they are needed most and improve asset management practices.

What you can expect to see over time
New Zealanders can expect better, more modern, fit-for-purpose health facilities that improve health through:
- improved asset management of health facilities, sites and equipment, including greater understanding of critical infrastructure and performance and better monitoring and assurance
- infrastructure that will help improve the health of all New Zealanders
- improved response to climate change including the use of clean energy, lower carbon materials and support for climate friendly construction practices
- better management of the risks and costs over the lifecycle of our building assets.
