Activities in New Zealand

Obesity Society NZ represents the New Zealand branch or operation of the Australia and New Zealand Obesity Society, or ANZOS (previously known as the Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity). Its work, function and objectives are an extension and reflection of that of the Obesity Society in Australia.

The Obesity Society of New Zealand sub-committee group has been established to:

• Consider the special needs of members within New Zealand.
• Work to improve membership base in New Zealand.
• Organise special events in New Zealand, particularly those relevant to obesity in the local as well as Australasian region.
• Respond on behalf of the Obesity Society on issues of particular relevance to New Zealand.
