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.

"I found an article in the sample news letter that was very helpful to myself and my husband. We were then able to have a discussion between us and our family about the treatments that are available for kidney failure, and whether any of them were right for my husband."
