What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

We are seeking a General Practitioner to join our kaupapa Māori health practice in Whanganui, providing whānau-centred, culturally grounded primary care that makes a real difference.

About Us

Our practice is kaupapa Māori-led and embedded in the community we serve.

· Flexible FTE options available (full-time or part-time)

About You

· Vocationally registered GP (or working toward Vocational Registration)

· Committed to culturally safe, whānau-centred care

· Alignment with kaupapa Māori values (you do not need to be Māori)

· Willingness to learn and work in a te ao Māori environment

· Team-focused, reflective, and community-minded

New to Whanganui?
