Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill

Written By Megan

Changing Minds provided feedback on the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill in December 2021 and appeared before the Select Committee in January 2022.

The key features of our submission are:

  • Our support for prioritising Mental Health and Wellbeing within the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill.

  • The need for a systemic approach to choices for health and wellbeing care in Aotearoa.

  • Visibility of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission (and mental health systems generally) within the Bill and subsequent legislation.

  • The need for lasting and meaningful collaboration between sectors, communities and health systems.

  • Interests in conflict with positive health outcomes (e.g., alcohol, cigarette and fast food lobbyists).

  • Visibility of lived experience leadership within the health sector.
