Hauora Māori Service, Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, invites proposals for the delivery of a face-to-face stop smoking service in the Canterbury region. This service forms part of a national programme of stop smoking services and aims to support individuals and whānau to become smoke-free through accessible, evidence-based behavioural support, with a strong focus on improving outcomes for priority populations and reducing inequities in smoking prevalence.
We are seeking proposals from Hauora Māori partners (or lead providers with agreed partners) with experience and capability to deliver stop smoking support services that are equity-focused, client-centric, data-driven, and integrated with national, regional, and local systems. Providers must demonstrate the ability to deliver high-quality, face-to-face, multi-session behavioural stop smoking support, and to engage effectively with priority populations. The service must be for priority populations including Māori, Pacific peoples, pregnant women (all ethnicities) smoking partners and family living with a pregnant woman, and other locally identified priority populations based on Canterbury needs
Objectives of the Service
- Increased engagement in multi-session behavioural stop smoking support, particularly for priority populations
- Improved quality and consistency of service delivery aligned with the New Zealand Guidelines for Helping People to Stop Smoking and relevant service specifications
- Strengthened local referral pathways and collaboration across secondary / primary care, maternity, and community services
