CAUCUSES

Caucus Groups

The Public Health Association of New Zealand (PHANZ) caucus groups are formed by members with common interests, expertise or affiliations relating to specific public health issues or populations. The purpose of these caucus groups is to provide a platform for members to connect, collaborate and advocate on specific topics or areas within public health.

For the most up-to-date information about our active caucuses, including their specific activities and regional coverage, follow the links below.

The PHANZ currently has three active caucus groups:

  • Māori Caucus
