This programme recognises the growing need for highly trained professional healthcare workers within Aotearoa New Zealand. Healthcare workers provide assistance, support and care to people in need (such as the aged or disabled) in a wide range of health, welfare, residential and community settings. This work fills a crucial role in society and is becoming even more critical as New Zealand’s population increasingly ages.
