Arthritis New Zealand aims to improve the life of every person affected by arthritis. We provide information, advice and support via our nurse educators, newsletters and website, access to support groups in the community, and advocacy for improved services.

Arthritis can lead to pain and immobility. Some people with arthritis find it hard to open food and medicines packaging.

We are working to ensure that this is seen as an access issue which can be addressed for all people with mobility and strength issues in their hands.
