National Public Health Service – Northern Region

The National Public Health Service – Northern Region is tasked with delivering a range of strategic and operational services that promote and protect the health of our people and environment and prevent disease across Te Tai Tokerau – Northland and Tāmaki Makaurau – Auckland.  

Its actions focus on reducing health inequities, influencing health determinants, and keeping people healthy where they live, learn, work and play. 

The service’s functions include:

• environmental health
• communicable disease control
• public health surveillance
• planning, policy, and workforce development, and
• community development.

Many of these services include a regulatory component performed by statutory officers appointed under various statutes, though principally under the Health Act 1956.
