Healthy Families is a large-scale prevention approach that brings together community leadership to drive collective action for better health in the places we live, learn, work, and play.

Our vision is for all New Zealanders to experience environments that make the healthy choice, the easy choice; supporting access to nutritious kai, encouraging physical activity, promoting smokefree lifestyles, reducing alcohol-related harm, and strengthening mental wellbeing and resilience.

A healthier Aotearoa begins in our everyday spaces. When our environments support wellbeing, tamariki thrive in learning, workplaces become more productive, people feel healthier and happier, and communities flourish.

Healthy Families Te Ngira works to accelerate innovation, strengthen collaboration, and drive system-level change across our communities.

By shaping healthier environments, we’re building strong foundations for future generations.
