Healthcare & Aged Care

Future-focused healthcare opportunities.

About the sector

Why this matters for New Zealand investor residency.

New Zealand's population aged 65+ is growing faster than ever — passing one million by 2028 — creating sustained, structurally non-cyclical demand for aged care and community health services, much of it underpinned by government-regulated funding.

New Zealanders aged 65+ by 2028 (Stats NZ): 1M
aged-care market, 2026 forecast (IBISWorld): NZ$4.9B
projected retirement-unit shortfall by 2048 (JLL): 23,000+

Why invest

What makes this sector compelling.

Demographic inevitability

The 65+ population reaches ~1M by 2028 and is projected near 23% of New Zealanders by 2048 (Stats NZ).

Structural undersupply

JLL projects a shortfall of 8,000+ retirement-village units by 2033, rising to 23,000+ by 2048 — demand far outpacing new supply.

Established market scale

Residential aged care was valued ~NZ$4.4B in 2025, forecast ~NZ$4.9B in 2026 (IBISWorld).

Essential-service stability

Demand is non-discretionary and partly government-funded, supporting resilient occupancy through the cycle.

Honest considerations

What to weigh before committing.

Operators are audited against Health & Disability Services Standards; a government funding/service-model review is underway that may reset contracted rates.
Registered-nurse and care-worker shortages are a core operational risk — model labour cost and recruitment carefully.
