From growing numbers to growing solutions – what's your plan to deal with dementia in NZ?

Alarming research shows three New Zealanders develop dementia mate wareware every hour and this is only set to get worse!

If we don’t act urgently, it risks overwhelming our health and aged care systems – and the impact on whānau, communities and the economy will be huge.

We’re asking health spokespeople for each political party ‘what’s your plan?’ to deal with the urgent health challenges facing Aotearoa New Zealand in the lead up to the 2026 General Election.

📅 When: Tuesday 1 September
🕕 Time: 6pm to 7pm (doors open from 5pm)
📍 Where: National Library, Wellington and online

Grab a front row seat and put the politicians in the hot seat for an hour of lively debate and the chance to ask your own burning questions.

We’ll add more details and a registration link as they’re confirmed.

Sign up to our mailing list to get the details first.
