Fire and Emergency New Zealand is New Zealand's urban and rural firefighting organisation.
For more than 150 years, fire service organisations have been at the heart of New Zealand communities. For generations we’ve been dedicated to protecting New Zealand from fire and its consequences.
These days, our firefighters do so much more than just fighting fires. They work with communities to build their resilience by helping them prepare for, respond to and recover well from emergencies. We respond to a wide variety of emergencies including motor vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, dealing with hazardous substances, severe weather events and natural disasters. We work to reduce risk to make our communities safer, through fire safety campaigns, research, and by providing advice on the building code.
In July 2017, Fire and Emergency New Zealand was established under legislation to bring together over 40 firefighting organisations around the country and around 14,000 people. Part of the new organisation was investing to make sure our firefighters across the country have the right resources to do the job.
Our Hato Hone St John people are passionate about serving their communities and caring for fellow New Zealanders. We are a charity and have a volunteer ethos, with paid and volunteer members working side by side towards our mission:
We step forward, when help is needed. For better. For life.
Ka tū ake, hei kaiāwhina. Mō te pai. Mō te orange.
Local and global
Hato Hone St John was founded in New Zealand in 1885 and is a part of the fabric of all communities throughout Aotearoa. St John is well known around the world for helping enrich the health and wellbeing of global communities. Although we operate and are funded entirely independently here in New Zealand, we’re proud to be a part of this important and long established Order.
Enhancing health and wellbeing
Those who work for Hato Hone St John are driven by the desire to help their local communities by providing essential health-related services. Our values - Whakaaro nui (We have open minds), Mahi tika (Do the right thing), Piritaha (We stand side by side), Mahi pono (We are straight up) and Whakapai ake (We make it better) - help us to achieve our vision of 'enhanced health and well-being for all New Zealanders'.
Hato Hone St John is at the frontline of medical response providing Ambulance Services throughout New Zealand. We’re also part of the broader landscape of health and social care, through our provision of first aid training, event medical services, medical alarms, youth programmes and a wide range of community programmes.
As the primary regulator for work health and safety, WorkSafe New Zealand’s role is to influence businesses and workers to carry out their health and safety responsibilities.
While we have a significant role in influencing better outcomes, we cannot do this alone. Other government agencies, industry bodies, iwi and unions all have a vital role to play.
WorkSafe is a great place to work. We are all united in the vision of ensuring everyone who goes to work comes home healthy and safe.
