This organisational diagram shows the structure of Community and Public Health since 1 March 2011. The upper tier of management called the Divisional Leadership Team is composed of the General Manager, Public Health Specialists (who are senior public health professionals including Medical Officers of Health) and Managers of the teams or offices.
Under the management structure are the three regional areas (Canterbury, West Coast, and Mid / South Canterbury) serving the public health needs of their respective communities. The Canterbury office has a significantly higher number of staff and so is arranged into five work streams including Administration. These work streams cover and support the core public health functions and are described further below. Each work stream has a Team Leader.
