Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme

Mahitahi Hauora is proud to announce its appointment in a newly formed consortium of primary healthcare organisations delivering the Nurse Practitioner Training Support Scheme (NPTSS) across Aotearoa over the next three years.

The NPTSS is a nationally consistent, regionally responsive initiative designed to support 180 registered nurses each year through the final practicum year of their Master of Nursing qualification, helping them transition into their new scope of practice as Nurse Practitioners (Mātanga Tapuhi). The Mātanga Tapuhi role is integral to the future of healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Mahitahi Hauora is joined in the consortium by ProCare, Pegasus, Pinnacle, Tū Ora Compass Health, and WellSouth to leverage collective capability and scale across New Zealand.

Applications for 2026 are open until 5 November 2025 for eligible nurses. For more information or to apply, visit: www.npsupport.co.nz
