Illustration for Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022

You need to know how the New Zealand Health Charter is made. Health New Zealand must help make the charter and talk to health entities and organisations. They also talk to Māori health professional organisations. You will see the charter when it is finished. The Minister must endorse the charter for it to be made. When the charter is made, it must be shown to the House of Representatives and made publicly available. The charter is an important document that outlines the principles and values of the health system in New Zealand. It is made by Health New Zealand with input from various organisations and groups.
