New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association
The NZPSHA was established in 2005 and our members are private facilities providing essential surgical services across Aotearoa. We connect the private surgical hospital sector, represent it on collective issues and promote excellence in healthcare.
On behalf of our members, NZPSHA seeks to engage with long term planning and partnerships in the delivery of planned care. Private Hospitals are part of the solution to address long waiting lists for elective surgery and we embrace whole-of-sector collaboration, to achieve better outcomes for patients and the health system.
Unuhia te pō, te pō whiri mārama
Tomoki ate ao, tea o whatu tāngata
Tātia ki runga, tātai ki raro, tātai aho rau
Haumi e, hui e, tāika e!
From confusion comes understanding
From understanding comes unity
We are interwoven, we are interconnected
We are interwoven, we are connected,
Together as one!
Better Care Starts with Us

NZPSHA announces new Chief Executive
Chris Roberts has been appointed Chief Executive of the NZPSHA in what the organisation says is a pivotal time to forge closer private-public partnerships across the health sector.
Announcing the appointment today, NZPSHA President Blair Roxborough said that as the New Zealand health system continues to face unprecedented demand for services and, as the population ages, strong leadership and new thinking was required.
An updated Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the New Zealand Private
Surgical Hospitals Association (NZPSHA) and Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa | Medical Council of New
Zealand (MCNZ).
The MoU has been revised over the course of this year to ensure its currency and has had legal review.
All members including those who are already signatories to the preceding MoU (established in 2014)
are encouraged to sign as participants in the new MoU.
Private surgical hospitals can support Government to reduce growing pressure on the public health system. In partnership, we can provide joint public-private solutions to the ever-growing financial and capacity constraint pressures.
Whole-of-sector approaches can work well as was demonstrated effectively during the COVID-19 response in early 2020. NZPSHA hospitals are an additional resource with the relevant capability to work effectively alongside the challenged public health sector.
