The promotion of co-design as a method to involve consumers, whānau and communities in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services has been a long-standing focus of the Commission. This approach can bring people together to ensure that multiple perspectives are reflected in the design, delivery and evaluation of services.

Through our collaboration with Ko Awatea, we have delivered co-design programmes in all regions. Read more about the many completed case studies below.

We now offer an open-access introduction to co-design. To access the module, please click here. To find out more about this course, please email: consumers@hqsc.govt.nz

Defining co-design

Co-design is often used as an umbrella term for participatory, co-creation and open design processes. Key components of a co-design process should involve users and staff in designing solutions, and design decisions should only be made after feedback is gathered (Ko Awatea 2022).
