What does HPA mean in HEALTHCARE

The Health Promotion Agency (HPA) is a government organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of New Zealanders. We are focused on promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing chronic diseases, increasing access to health services and encouraging positive mental health. We do this through public education campaigns, influencing policy makers and partnering with communities to create healthier environments.

Good health is essential for living an enjoyable and productive life. It not only affects your physical and mental wellbeing, but also your overall quality of life. That’s why it’s important to take steps to ensure you maintain good health – now and in the future.

HPA contributes to public health by providing resources, information, advice and support in four key areas – physical activity, nutrition, mental wellbeing and social connectedness. Through our work we raise awareness about healthy lifestyle choices by developing education campaigns targeting different population groups. We also collaborate with policy makers to improve access to healthcare services across the country.

HPA runs a range of initiatives including national campaigns such as 'Move More NZ', educational workshops for those at risk of developing chronic diseases or seeking better mental wellbeing; supporting local organisations through grants and other funding opportunities; and partnering with communities to create healthier environments that promote well-being.

Yes! HPA offers a variety of resources and programs aimed at young people such as Move More NZ which encourages physical activities during school holidays; Eat Smart NZ which educates them on healthy eating habits; Mental Health Matters which provides information on how to take care of their mental wellbeing; Positive Body Image which focuses on teaching body positivity among youth; and Let's Connect which promotes social connectivity within communities amongst many others.

There are lots of ways you can get involved with our work! You could volunteer with one of our initiatives or become a partner organisation who works together with us in tackling public health issues in New Zealand or simply share our resources amongst your network or spread awareness about any campaigns we are running – every bit counts towards healthier lives for Kiwis!

Absolutely! At times we have job openings posted on our website so make sure you check often if you’re interested in joining us here at the Health Promotion Agency!

We provide individuals with access to resources via our website as well as offering specialist advice when needed. However, we do not provide direct support services ourselves but instead partner with local community organisations who do provide such services.

Businesses have an important role in creating supportive environments that help promote good health amongst employees while also contributing positively towards society by setting examples for others when it comes to workplace cultures that promote wholesome living.
