All qualifications listed on the New Zealand qualifications framework must undergo regular review to make sure they still meet the training needs for workforces in the relevant sector or industry.
Last year we completed a review of the seven other health and wellbeing qualifications. This public health and health promotion qualification is the final one in the suite scheduled for review.
The recent COVID19 global pandemic may have exposed workforce training gaps or highlighted opportunities for workforce skills and knowledge that were previously not considered. Now is the time to address those gaps and opportunities.

Toitū te Waiora is pleased to advise that the sector survey feedback has been analysed, and we have made some iterative changes to the qualification. The proposed changes are outlined below, along with a tracked changes version of the qualification and a clean copy. The current qualification can be viewed on the NZQA website here.
We are now seeking your final comments on this updated version of the qualification before we submit it to NZQA for listing on the NZQCF.
Consultation is open for two weeks and will close on 11 April 2025.
Please submit feedback to [email protected].
