NZCPHCN Symposium POSTPONED to October 2026
Tēnā koutou katoa
Ehara taku toa I te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini – Success is not the work of an individual but the work of many.
The New Zealand College of Primary Health Care Nurses would like to share that due to the ongoing demands and challenges nurses continue to face, our 2025 Symposium scheduled for 4 October 2025 has been postponed.
As a committee, this was not an easy decision to make, but given the current climate, it was proving very difficult for nurses to be available to attend.
Please note that this is only a postponement. We will celebrate in October 2026 with the same line up of speakers, and while the theme may change, we will keep you all informed along the way.
Like you, we are disappointed this year’s event cannot go ahead, but we are committed to making the next symposium one to truly remember.
Naku noa, nā

Caro Davidson, Edward Coughlan, Peter Ford and I are thrilled to share the Sex & Consequences 2025 programme with you.
Thank you for your patience while we worked with our fantastic speakers to finalise the line-up – we’re so grateful for their generosity in sharing their time, knowledge and experience.
Programme
Stand Up for Trans Rights & Te Tiriti
Tamariki and rangatahi in Aotearoa New Zealand should feel safe, welcome, and connected in their schools and communities. All our diverse whānau, whether takatāpui, LGBTQIA+, cis or straight, should feel protected and able to enjoy full access to human rights, including the right to live in safety, and the right to live free of discrimination based on gender and sexuality.
Trans people have existed for as long as there have been people, and Aotearoa New Zealand has traditionally been one of the most pro-trans rights countries in the world. In 2023, Aotearoa New Zealand overwhelmingly agreed (84%) that transgender people should be protected from discrimination in employment, housing, restaurants and stores. But right now, many politicians worldwide are attempting to remove the rights of trans people and to erase their representation – including the current coalition government in Aotearoa New Zealand.
