A Hearing Health Strategy for Aotearoa NZ: Are we on the right track?
Our goal is to establish Aotearoa NZ’s first national, co-designed strategy for hearing health, grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, equity, prevention, and evidence-based practice.
We have prepared a draft of a Hearing Health Strategy, based on some initial engagement, research, policy advice, and sector expertise. This shares some initial ideas of what a Hearing Health Strategy could look like, and what might work in practice. It is intended to be a “strawman” proposal that you can explore, with the hope that you will let us know what you do like, what you don’t, or what ideas you think would work better to achieve our shared goal.
Right now, we are looking for an initial “temperature check” to see how this idea is landing with our community, sector, and stakeholders. From there, we’ll take your feedback on board to shape our plans for deeper engagement.
About this survey
This online survey will be open until 11:59pm on Sunday 21st June 2026 and will take about 10 minutes to complete. However, there is space at the end if you would like to share longer or more detailed feedback.
Please don't hesitate to contact us on hhs@nfdhh.org.nz if you need a hard copy of the survey, an alternate format, or to share your thoughts in another way. We are committed to ensuring this consultation is accessible for our communities.
Before you start the survey, please take a look at either the short Executive Summary, or the full Concept Document & Draft Strategy document. You might find it helpful to have it open in a separate window as you go through the survey.
