ADDICTION PRACTITIONERS ASSOCIATION AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND

In June 2016, the dapaanz board agreed to strengthen dapaanz's response and approach to Tiriti o Waitangi. This was done not just in acknowledgment of the mana status of Māori, and commitment to increase Māori participation in leadership; but additionally, in acknowledgment of Māori as a key partner in the vision for the advancement of dapaanz and the addiction sector. Our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi (as set out in Te Kowhao - our Te Tiriti o Waitangi Policy) and to Māori wellbeing, underpins our work... Established in 2002, dapaanz represents the professional interests of Aotearoa's addiction workforce. We exist to support our members; we foster ethical practice, manage practitioner endorsement and registration, and ensure professional development.
