RuralFest 2025 is underway!

Welcomed by the sun in Wellington, our rural health and community leaders have arrived at Parliament to share their priorities, successes, and calls to action with key Government Ministers and Opposition Spokespeople.

These critical conversations will help shape the policies and commitments that define rural health in the lead-up to Election 2026.

This week, our Rural Communities Chapter is hosting RuralFest 2025 at Parliament — a chance to hold the Coalition Government to account for their progress so far in achieving the Rural Health Strategy, and to ask all political parties how they plan to prioritise rural health in the lead-up to the 2026 election.

The time to speak up is now. Rural voices. Real change.
