Your local MP is responsible for representing their electorate in the House of Representatives. Your voice and your concerns matter to them.

Meeting with your local MP is a powerful way you can get your voice heard at the highest levels.

You don't have to be an expert on all things related to rare disorders. Just talk to them about the challenges you and your whānau have faced. Tell them about the barriers you have met on your journey trying to access services, care or treatment.

Hearing first hand of someone's personal battle is often the most effective way to get a message across.

If you are thinking of contacting your local MP contact us today - enquiries@raredisorders.org.nz. We can give you advice and send you helpful resources to take with you to your meeting.
