Access Community Health has been caring for our communities since 1927. In those early days the ‘bush nurses’, members of the Women’s Division Federated Farmers, rode horseback to people isolated in rural communities bringing valuable support and care, assistance in the home and maternity support.

Today, we reach more than 40,000 people in their own homes to provide nursing, personal care, rehabilitation, social support and household assistance. We can help you.





Access Community Health, we place you, the individual, and your whānau and family at the centre of everything we do. We live by our strong values.

Our People

We are extremely proud of our staff and deeply appreciative of the people, families and whānau we support. Most of the photos you see on these pages are of our staff and people we support, in their homes or places of importance – real people, in real settings.
