The Pae Ora legislation gives us the mandate and opportunity to create a system of commissioning that has the needs of whānau and communities at its heart. In this new model, we are not ‘commissioners' holding the power.

We are a team of teams who live within and reflect the communities we serve.
We are responsible for designing community-based systems of care, agreeing health and wellbeing plans, executing those plans, and monitoring outcomes which then feed into the design process. We work in partnership with our Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora colleagues to shape system-wide public health services across the motu.
The Localities Design Team is responsible for the development of the localities approach and the national oversight of place-based planning across localities in partnership with Te Aka Whai Ora and the Regional Locality teams. The Team is tasked with providing national leadership designing localities solutions that radically improve Māori Health and eliminate inequities within the area of Living Well in partnership with Te Aka Whai Ora.
