Pihanga Health is a Monday to Friday practice with after-hours needs being handled by Ka Ora Telecare phone triage.

We are a teaching practice that encourages ongoing learning at all levels, but most of all we love creative ideas for delivering high quality health services that put our patients at the centre of their care, and genuinely improves their health and wellbeing.

Everyone gets an equal voice in designing services for the practice. Working with Pihanga Health is an opportunity to be part of our proactive and innovative rural GP practice who care for a wide and diverse patient population. 

We pride ourselves on providing a working environment where everyone can enjoy job satisfaction and a work-life balance. 

We acknowledge and honour te Tiriti o Waitangi in our daily work and are committed to building cultural capability at Pihanga Health. Your understanding of tikanga māori and/or te reo māori will be greatly welcomed.  Some of our staff live in Taupō and commute to work, others live at the southern end of the lake which gives them an unique opportunity to be a part of Southern Lakes communities.

We are a not-for-profit charity run by a Board of Trustees.
