Health and Wellbeing Skill Standard Development Project 

Toitū te Waiora is pleased to announce that we will be kicking off the health and wellbeing skill standard development project.

Background 

In the recent review of Health and Wellbeing qualifications, Toitū te Waiora identified that the current qualifications serve some parts of the health and wellbeing sector well, but they do not meet all the requirements of our sector’s diverse workforce groups. To address this, we will explore ways to better meet these needs through the development of new skill standards. 

Our initial focus will be on creating core skill standards that capture the critical skills applicable across various roles in the sector. We will then develop role-specific skill standards to address the unique requirements of different roles, sectors, and environments. 

Project Consultation 

Although we gathered insights through the Health and Wellbeing review process, additional expertise from across the sector is essential to define the skill and knowledge requirements for these standards. This collaborative work will shape the future of qualifications across the sector. It is anticipated this work will reveal areas for significant improvements to existing qualifications and support the creation of new qualifications and/or strands where needed. 

If you are interested in being part of the skill standards development process or have feedback for us, please get in touch.
