Living in the Gaps: survival, advocacy, and change, in Aotearoa’s healthcare system
This free, online symposium is for people with lived experience of health conditions, illnesses, or disabilities (or who do advocacy, work, or research in these areas).
The event is on 9:30am to 5pm, SATURDAY 25th MARCH 2023, via Zoom (and you can check out the draft programme here).

The goal is to facilitate shared conversations about health & disability funding issues that affect a variety of different communities, in different ways, in contemporary Aotearoa; to document experiences, share knowledge, and to think about directions forward, together.
The symposium is open to anyone, of any age, from Aotearoa New Zealand, who feels their life or work experience relates to this topic.
