Mō mātou | About Us
The West Coast of the South Island is a rugged,
isolated and beautiful part of Aotearoa New Zealand. From Karamea in the
north, to Haast in the south, the coast is the largest geographical Te Whata
Ora locality, but with a small population of 32,500. Providing health
care in this environment is without doubt challenging, and the team here have
fully adopted a Rural Generalist Model to ensure an equitable, high level of
care is delivered to our community. The Rural Generalist team is
flexible, multi-disciplinary and highly skilled - joining us will provide you
with a raft of experience within the framework of our rural hospital and
community-based services. Outside of work, the West Coast will also
challenge and amaze you - bring your tramping boots, surfboard, mountain bike
and kayak - you will need them all!
