Who is ADHD New Zealand?


Alert: clarification of our name - ADHD New Zealand
Our registered charity name is ADHD Association Incorporated. However, we are generally known as ADHD New Zealand. 

We acknowledge that our name is similar to other organisations, which can be confusing. 

We are not in any way connected with the ADHD Foundation of Aotearoa.

Formed in 1979, we are the largest and longest-standing non-profit organisation committed to supporting those living with ADHD in New Zealand.​

Our vision:
​To advance the ADHD community by providing practical information and support.

What we do:
We connect people and organisations, enabling our members to collaborate on solutions and successfully live with ADHD. We inspire our members to succeed through learning events and sharing their stories. And we help them act through expert advice and support.

Our values:
  • integrity - being reliable and honest
  • commitment - passion and dedication for what we do
  • sustainability - stewardship of resources
  • innovation - looking for individual solutions, and
  • partnership - working collaboratively with others in pursuit of mutual goals.

​Our community of 50,000+ includes hundreds of organisations you can connect to and get support from through our resources and events to improve the awareness and support of ADHD in New Zealand.
