WellSouth Board Appointments

Board Trustee

Make a difference: help govern WellSouth Primary Health Network to improve health outcomes for people in the Southern region.

Applications are now open for a Trustee on WellSouth’s Board.

WellSouth Primary Health Network is tasked with facilitating the best health and wellbeing for our community across Otago and Southland. We do this by empowering and supporting primary care providers to deliver sustainable, accessible, equitable quality care to Southern communities.

This is a bold vision, and our board and senior leadership team work together to identify how we can do this with a Te Tiriti and equity-driven foundation.

We are looking for passionate members of our community to complement our existing board members and bring leadership, experience and insights to help deliver our vision.

There is one paid role to join our WellSouth board drawing from the business sector.

Across the position, we need an advocate for the rural community, strategic thinker and business leader who can adapt to a changing environment, embracing digital enablement and transformation. Your resume would show an ability to manage change and risk, govern and develop teams and you would also likely have proven financial nous.

WellSouth governance sets the direction and vision for the organisation, high-functioning, diverse and passionate locals with clinical and non-clinical experience.

If you have some or all these skills and our values resonate with you, find out more. Primary health is at the heart of our community. And while the health sector is ever-changing, the fundamental purpose remains the same – to get the best care for our people. Be part of our visionary governance, make a difference.

Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday, 21 October 2025. Late applications will not be accepted.
