Governance

ONZ incorporated as a society in August 2012. It was created to better service the interests of ophthalmologists and their patients in New Zealand. Our activities are governed by our constitution.

Our constitution states our aims are:

To promote high quality, timely ophthalmic care for New Zealanders;
To represent the interests of ophthalmologists and their patients;
To advocate policies and practices in eye care that advance the health of all New Zealanders;
To improve the understanding of all New Zealanders as to their eye health needs;

We will do this through the following aspects:

Working with government, national and local, to raise issues and concerns
Working with health insurers to ensure ophthalmologists have a high profile
Providing members with education and resources to assist NZ ophthalmologists
on uniquely New Zealand commercial issues, and
Working with RANZCO to strengthen their campaign's and interests.
