Health Promotion
Make a positive impact on all dimensions of health
Health promoters aim to achieve optimal health and wellbeing for all through sustainable behaviour change, supported by changes in the environments in which we live, work and play. Their work supports the holistic health of individuals, communities and populations, empowering them to make healthier choices and contributing to a reduction in the risk of disease and premature death.
Employment opportunities for health promoters are diverse. Our graduates have gone on to work for Smokefree New Zealand, Ryman Healthcare (resident wellness programme specialist), Sport Canterbury, New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (road safety coordinator), Christchurch City Council (Active Communities coordinator) and regional sports trusts, while others have become PE and health teachers.
