Our people
Cluster Headache Aotearoa New Zealand is small, volunteer-run and patient-founded. These are the people behind it.
Trustees
Cluster Headache Aotearoa New Zealand is governed by a board of trustees. Trustees are unpaid, and none of us has a commercial interest in any treatment described on CHNZ resources.

Clinical review contributors
We gratefully acknowledge clinicians who have generously offered time to review CHNZ health information for accuracy, clarity and safety. Their review helps improve the Trust's resources; it does not mean they endorse every CHNZ position or publication.

Community support
Cluster headache is isolating, and the single most useful thing many people find is talking to someone else who has it. These are the people who make that happen.

Working with others
We work alongside other organisations rather than duplicating them. We are grateful for the guidance of the Migraine Foundation Aotearoa New Zealand, whose team have been generous with their time and experience as we have got this off the ground.
Get involved
We are a young organisation and we need help - particularly with peer support, Māori health guidance, and advocacy in districts outside Auckland. If you would like to be part of this, please get in touch via our contact page.
