Kia āta kōwhiri Choosing Wisely

The Choosing Wisely campaign seeks to reduce harm from unnecessary and low-value tests and treatment.

From 1 July 2025, the Mental Health and Addiction Quality Improvement Programme has moved to Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora (Health NZ).

Resources are still available for download from this website while Health NZ sets up a new online home.

For questions about the Always Report and Review process (reporting harm or adverse events), contact: harm.event@hqsc.govt.nz 

The mental health and addiction (MHA) quality improvement programme's Te Hiringa Kounga Māori group:

  • advocates Māori bodies of knowledge and experience
  • incorporates tikanga Māori, pūrākau, karakia and waiata into the MHA quality improvement programme
  • supports Māori and wider sector engagement
  • raises awareness of MHA issues for Māori
  • advises the development of effective interventions for Māori
  • ensures the programme is responsive to tangata whaiora and whānau experience
  • improves health equity, and reduces harm, mortality and unwarranted variation across MHA services.
