Te Tūhononga mō te Mate Wareware: The Dementia Mate Wareware Network 

The government has endorsed the New Zealand Dementia Mate Wareware Action Plan (the Action Plan). Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand wants to involve people living with dementia mate wareware, and the dementia mate wareware sector when deciding how to get the action plan done.

To ensure this happens, we have set up a new group called the Dementia Mate Wareware Network / Te Tūhononga mō te Mate Wareware.

The Network will ensure that individuals and groups working with people living with dementia mate wareware and people living with dementia mate wareware themselves and their whānau will be heard when the Government makes decisions about the future of dementia care and support.

Network Consultation Webinars
