New Zealand Home Health Association

Established in 1993, The New Zealand Home Health Association is the industry association for providers of home support services.

Members are committed to meeting high standards and to working collectively to strengthen the sector.

What is home health?

 

Home health care encompasses a range of services available in the community for people who wish to stay living at home, but who need support to be able to do so. Services include personal care (e.g. bathing), household management, nursing treatment, and complex long-term care for people with serious conditions or injuries. Services are provided by community-based agencies and companies who employ support workers, caregivers and health care professionals.

Who pays for home health services?

Generally an assessment organised by a GP will determine what government funding is available. ACC may fund support required because of accidents, whereas long term disability or health conditions may attract subsidies from the Ministry of Health. DHBs fund services for older people. Home health services may also be purchased privately.

The New Zealand Home Health Association Inc is the national body representing providers of home health care services, supporting them to achieve the highest possible standards.
