The society does not provide medical services of any kind, as its expertise lies in the areas of support, education, information and patient representation.
Kidney Society services are free for kidney failure families in Northland and Auckland, although membership is encouraged.
The Society works closely with the professionals providing medical care for people with kidney failure but is a strictly independent patient society providing support in the community.
Joining Kidney Society Auckland
Kidney Society Auckland supports people with kidney failure and their families who are looked after by renal services in Northland, the greater Auckland region and Waikato. You are not alone! Join the more than 1400 families who are registered with the Kidney Society for free services including our Kidney Society magazine.
However, people outside our region are also very welcome to contact us for free information or advice, or to subscribe to our magazine. This costs $20 per year for six issues.
There are other independent kidney societies throughout New Zealand, and we encourage you to make contact with the society in your own area.
