Who We Are/What We Do

District Health Boards (DHB’s) in New Zealand are responsible for providing and funding the provision of health and disability services in their district.

DHB’s main objectives are set by the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000. These are to improve, promote and protect the health of our communities. For further information about DHB’s go to the Ministry of Health website.

The zest4life DHB’s have exceptional career opportunities for health professionals. The diverse population groups that we work with and our varying geographical locations will make working for us interesting.
