The Health Promotion Forum of New Zealand - Runanga Whakapiki ake i te Hauora o Aotearoa (HPF) builds leadership, relationships and the workforce in health promotion. We are committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The World Health Organisation defines health promotion is the "process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health" (Ottawa Charter, 1986). Health Promoters make an essential contribution to improving health and reducing rates of avoidable death and disease.

Most Health Promoters work in Maori and Pacific health providers, community organisations, Public Health Units, District Health Boards, Primary Health Organisations, and education services.
