Core Values

Our values underpin the way we work.

We work with integrity and in a transparent manner. We work collaboratively and inclusively with those people and organisations who have a stake in what we do. Excellence underpins our methods and ways of working.

Our style will be professional, people-centred and evidence-centred.

Our processes will respond to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. See our policy on Māori Health
