Modern facilities, modern equipment, modern thinking and the opportunity to make a real difference are four good reasons why our staff enjoy working for the WDHB - an organisation which 'punches well above its weight' within New Zealand's healthcare sector.
Whanganui Hospital is situated on the West Coast of New Zealand’s North Island within easy access of Wellington and central North Island volcanoes.
Whanganui Hospital has a wide range of services with general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, O&G, ENT, ophthalmology, dental and psychiatry included.
The Emergency Department has approximately 20,000 presentations each year (including paediatrics) and an admission rate of around 30 percent due to a co-located acute care facility. The department is well equipped with a 5-bed short stay ward and performs a range of ED-based procedures including manipulations and cardioversions under sedation.
Our Critical Care Unit caters for the majority of our intubated patients, with further support and other specialties provided by Palmerston North Hospital and tertiary care at Wellington Hospital.
With regular teaching events and the ability to work alongside Specialists who are leaders in their field, why would you consider anywhere else?
Whanganui's location on the historically significant and beautiful Whanganui River, and close proximity to the mountains, makes it ideal for tramping, skiing, fishing and a variety of outdoor adventure pursuits. Whanganui proudly boasts a heritage rich in arts and culture, and excellent educational and sports training facilities. We offer a relaxed lifestyle, affordable housing, an easy commute to work, and an easy two-and-a-half hour drive from our capital city, Wellington.
Whatever your interests, Whanganui can offer the best of both worlds – the perfect work opportunity, and a lifestyle to match.
Te Puni Kokiri leads policy advice to the Government on Māori development, and Iwi, Māori relations with the Crown.
We draw strength from our past to build an Aotearoa New Zealand where whānau can all stand, thrive and belong.
At Whaikaha, we want an Aotearoa where disabled people and tāngata whaikaha Māori are thriving.
As a Ministry we are dedicated to this goal, working with government, businesses, and communities to drive real change.
We do this by investing in disability communities, providing strategic and policy advice across government, monitoring how well services are working, and identifying new, exciting opportunities to make a difference.
By working alongside disabled people, tāngata whaikaha Māori and their whānau our work improves lives and highlights both their impact and untapped potential in contributing to our society and the economy.
Our current work includes a refresh of the New Zealand Disability Strategy, the New Zealand Sign Language Strategy, creating employment opportunities for disabled people and tāngata whaikaha Māori in the public service, and working towards UNCRPD and the response to the Royal Commission.
