Auckland PHO

Our Vision and Purpose:

• Vision: Quality and Innovation in Primary Healthcare
• Purpose: Empower and Enable our People to Thrive

Auckland PHO is a Primary Health Organisation (PHO) operating within Auckland City and is one of seven PHOs who are part of the Te Whatu Ora, Te Toka Tumai region.

​Auckland PHO funds and co-ordinates services, provides resources and expertise for practices and delivers some specialised primary healthcare services. First level primary healthcare is provided by 28 General Practices with 117 GPs, 13 Nurse Practitioners and 74 Practice Nurses who service 82,033 enrolled patients (data from 1 July 2024), throughout central Auckland in Auckland City, Avondale, Mt Roskill, Mt Albert, Glen Innes, Grey Lynn, Great Barrier Island, and Waiheke Island. We also have an Integrated Primary Mental Health and Addiction Service team, consisting of 6 Heath Improvement Practitioners and 9 Health Coaches.

​While many of our services are directed towards individuals and illness, we are also focused on issues that impact on the wellness of specific groups and communities within our enrolled population, of whom 8% are Māori, 7% Pacific and 25% are “High Needs” – quintile 5, Māori and Pacific.

​The PHO has responsibility for ensuring that current challenges in community healthcare are being met. These challenges include child and adolescent health, immunisation, mental health and long term conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular/heart disease.
