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.
"Walking Alongside" Patients and Families
Home visits and phone support
We can visit you at home, or talk to you on the phone. Home visits to people in Northland are possible, but need a little planning as our Centre is in Auckland. We visit the Whangarei area every few months, and travel further North once or twice a year. Call us any working day between 9 and 5, or leave a message.
If you live outside the Auckland free calling area, call us on 0800 235 711 for free.
"My wife and I were delighted that the Kidney Society ladies had come all the way to visit us. We felt we had only skimmed the top off the education about kidney failure that we received from the hospital staff and we were very happy to get simple practical answers to our questions."
