About Us

We are a consortium of six primary care organisations that are in key, strategic regions across Aotearoa – from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island. We are uniquely positioned to deliver a nationally co-ordinated and regionally responsive Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme.

Collectively, we support more than 450 general practices and an enrolled population exceeding 2 million, offering unmatched scale, reach, local insight and sector expertise.

As a collective, we have made a commitment to ensuring the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme is scalable, equitable, and tailored to the diverse needs of Nurse Practitioner trainees. Our strengths and experience in this space include:

• Established relationships with hospitals, general practices and community providers nationwide, enabling seamless engagement and support

• Diverse practice networks ranging from large providers to single-GP clinics, including services for high Māori and Pasifika populations and rural communities

• Extensive clinical and operational expertise, ensuring practical, real-world implementation

• Robust co-ordination mechanisms that align national priorities with regional delivery

• Proven experience collaborating across the healthcare sector, delivering regionally focused programmes

• Established relationships with tertiary education providers, including experience in clinical placements, pastoral support for post-graduate students, and joint initiatives with clinical academics

• Strong partnerships with hauora providers and Māori and Pacific organisations, supporting culturally responsive and community-grounded service delivery.

This collaborative model ensures that Nurse Practitioners will be supported not only through training but also through integration into clinical environments that understand and value their role.
