Access Community Health
Access Community Health has been delivering home care and support services across New Zealand since 1927. When we were first established early 'bush nurses' would ride horse back across their local rural communities delivering vital support services to people in their home.
Today we provide a wide range of services including home assistance, personal care, palliative care, medication management and fully qualified nursing to all parts of the country through our team of 3,500 support workers and 150 nurses. We work closely with Disability Support - MSD, Te Whatu Ora, and ACC to lend a hand to over 40,000 people nationwide.
