Talk to your MP

Be clear

Tell them you want to discuss the need for a government action plan to tackle the dementia mate wareware challenge facing Aotearoa New Zealand.

Make the request via phone or email

Information on contacting and addressing current politicians in Aotearoa New Zealand can be found on the NZ Parliament website.

When you visit

• Respect time – they are busy!
• Give them no more than three essential messages; e.g. Numbers of people with dementia mate wareware are growing rapidly; Aotearoa New Zealand has an action plan for dementia mate wareware; Government must implement it now to protect the wellbeing of thousands of Kiwis.
• Ask them for their views on dementia mate wareware and the need for a plan.
• Thank them.

After the meeting

Write a thank you note/email and include any links you think will be useful.
