Why we made the changes
Our old website was well overdue for modernisation and we needed to respond better to people with the highest health needs.
For over 10 years our content has proven to be trustworthy, with over 1.65 million page views per month, and this move is intended to reach even more people living in more diverse places and circumstances.
Over the last six months we listened to priority communities about what would be of most value to individuals and whānau searching for health information online. Feedback and Māori-led agency guidance led to an enhanced user experience on our new website.
Healthify provides easy access to online, plain language health information and selfcare resources.Topics have been reformatted to declutter pages and allow people better control over what they want to watch, read and listen to. A clear, consistent look for the entire site will enhance way finding and bold photographs bring the PC and laptop views to life.
Zero data and shielded site
The site meets up-to-date accessibility standards and is fully optimised for mobile. It’s also part of the Te Whatu Ora zero data initiative, which means you can access the site without data and, if you want to remove any trace of visiting us, we have shielded site access, too.
Healthcare providers
Healthcare providers can continue to use Healthify with patients and customers to enhance shared decision making and find self-management tools.There is a dedicated space for healthcare providers in the website footer.
We’re confident you’ll love our new name, layout and look just as much as our team and whānau and community groups do.
