Ā mātou aroturukitanga 2026 Our 2026 monitoring
Te Hiringa Mahara has a programme of work monitoring the delivery of mental health and addiction services and more broadly the overall performance of the system. This is part of our mandated monitoring role.
In February 2026 we published a data summary that looks at access to specialist mental health, substance use and addiction services (see link below). We have also published relevant population level findings on mental health and substance use from the NZ Health Survey 2024/2025.
Monitoring work being released later in 2026 includes:
- Updated He Ara Āwhina dashboard with data to June 2025 (March 2026)
- Infographic summarising key performance measures from across He Ara Āwhina framework (March 2026)
- Our second mental health and addiction system performance monitoring report (May 2026)
- A comprehensive monitoring report on rangatahi and young people’s access to mental health and addiction services (November 2026).
