The Paediatric Society of New Zealand is a not-for-profit charitable organisation founded in 1947 in recognition of the special health and developmental needs of children. The Society’s membership works collaboratively with other societies, government departments and institutions which have similar goals, to create a better New Zealand for tamariki and rangatahi. The work is accomplished through the efforts of Society members, who on the whole voluntarily provide their expertise. The society’s work is supported by several administrative and managerial staff.
