AIMA has a long and vibrant history in New Zealand. AIMA NZ is run by a New Zealand-based management committee under the auspices of AIMA Australia. This committee is chaired by Integrative GP Dr. Tim Ewer. We are currently working to constitute AIMA NZ as a separate legal entity.
Our New Zealand activities include a major conference in Auckland each year. The conference is a highlight of the year for the New Zealand integrative medicine community and a fabulous occasion to learn the latest and to meet and socialize with colleagues.
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting the 2023 AIMA Conference on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th of December 2023 at the Auckland University of Technology in central Auckland, New Zealand. We are busy compiling a fantastic program jam-packed full of inspiring and wonderful speakers. Any interested exhibitors or sponsors are welcome to email [email protected] to find out more about how they can get involved. Join our e-newsletter database to keep up with all the plans as they develop or keep an eye on our conference page here.
Our 2022 AIMA Conference took place on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th November 2022 and was a huge success! It was so wonderful to come back together in person, network and learn from a fantastic host of experts on topics around integrative medicine. Take a look at what was involved at the conference page.
For 2021, we successfully offered a fully virtual conference held over the weekend on 27-28 March entirely online. This offered a safe and practical way to host the event during the COVID-19 pandemic, and also allowed us to extend our audience, introduce new and exciting ways to interact, and provide flexibility for those under COVID restrictions to participate.
2020 AIMA CONFERENCE
We were extremely lucky to host our 2020 conference in person just before restrictions came into play as COVID-19 hit New Zealand. It was a huge success! Click here to see what was on offer. In 2020, we also held a Pre-Conference Retreat based around the topic “Healing, ourselves and the planet” from 6pm Wednesday 4th March to 5pm Friday 6th March at the beautiful Bella Rakha Retreat Centre in Oratia, Auckland.

AUCKLAND MONTHLY MEETINGS
Covid-19 restrictions permitting, we offer these in-person meetings in Auckland each month. They offer the chance to learn about a new topic of interest in the integrative medicine field as well as the opportunity to meet and network with like-minded practitioners in an informal setting.
