Doctors Health Aotearoa
Empowering doctor health and wellbeing through connections, education, advocacy - for the good of all New Zealanders
Our Mission
We serve as a central hub for collaboration and networking, linking doctors with the support they need through partnerships with like-minded organisations. We connect and amplify organisations that support and research doctor health & wellbeing.
We are an authoritative voice on doctor and medical student health and wellbeing. Our goal is to drive impactful change by shaping policies, highlighting emerging issues, advocating for systemic improvements and targeted research and support. We work across media, regulatory bodies, and professional organisations ensuring the voices of doctors are heard.
We promote educational programs for doctors and other stakeholders. Our initiatives include tailored training on critical topics like being a doctor for doctors, substance and alcohol abuse, holistic wellbeing, and sustainable careers. We adapt successful international models to address local needs.
