Exciting news! Health Navigator NZ website is today Healthify He Puna Waiora.
New name: Healthify ‒ makes health information simple and more accessible.
New tagline: He Puna Waiora ‒ a spring of knowledge giving life and wellness.
Our new name underlines our commitment to simplifying and enhancing access to health information and self-care resources. Our tagline embodies our vision of being a spring of knowledge, fostering life and wellness.
The changes modernise our much-loved site and increase its accessibility and relevance to a more diverse range of people living in Aotearoa New Zealand.
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 people living in more diverse places and circumstances. Over the last 18 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 self-care resources. Topics have been reformatted to declutter pages and allow people better control over what they want to see, 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.
The site meets up-to-date accessibility standards and is fully optimised for mobile. It’s also part of the Health New Zealand | 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 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 website's new name, layout and look just as much as our team and whānau and community contacts do.
