The Neurodivergence Wellbeing Conference (NWC25) will launch on 11–12 August 2025 at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, bringing together lived experience advocates, clinicians, educators, researchers, and policy leaders to explore the intersections of neurodivergence and mental health.
Presented by the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association, NWC25 is a new national event dedicated to advancing neurodivergent wellbeing across systems, services, and communities. The program has been shaped by lived experience, community priorities, and the latest research.
More than 50 expert speakers from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond will present on topics such as autism, ADHD, OCD, trauma, eating and feeding, identity, systemic change, intersectionality, and more.
' The goal of NWC25 is to elevate neurodivergent perspectives, reshape how services are delivered, and open up space for transformative conversations around inclusion and mental health, ' said Sam Stewart, CEO of the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association.
To help attendees care for their own wellbeing during the event, NWC25 will offer a variety of optional wellness activities including access to a quiet Wellness Zone, creative expression through a Wellness Wall, a trauma-informed yoga session, and more.
NWC25 welcomes both in-person and virtual attendees. The conference is open to professionals, practitioners, researchers, educators, policymakers, support providers, and neurodivergent individuals passionate about driving change.
Virtual and in-person registrations remain open at https://anzmh.asn.au/nwc.

Seafood NZ Prepares For 'Thoughtful' Conference – Seafood's Science, Storytelling And Health Benefits All On The Table
Providing 'Food for Thought', as well as literally providing the best possible food for New Zealanders, are themes of the Seafood New Zealand 2025 Conference, kicking off on Wednesday 6 August in Nelson. The group representing New Zealand's commercial fishing sector is hosting around 250 industry leaders at the Conference, including scientists, operations experts and hands-on fishers. This year's theme is "Seafood for Thought' – an obvious play on the phrase "food for thought" – which is all about encouraging fresh thinking, new conversations, and smarter ways of working together. Conference delegates will hear from a range of speakers including Shane Jones, the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, who will open the 2025 Conference. Seafood New Zealand CEO, Lisa Futschek says there are three main strands to the Seafood for Thought theme. 'We're focused on the science that backs up our industry. We'll be asking how we can develop fishing technology that reduces our impacts and also allows us to fish in a smart and efficient way. 'Another area of focus is telling our story. New Zealand commercial fishing is lauded overseas - for example, a recent FAO report from the UN put us second in the world for sustainable management - and yet locally we are not so well recognised. How do we get better at sharing our stories with New Zealanders? 'And then we will look at the latest science around the health benefits of seafood consumption. We are fortunate enough to have two distinguished Australian scientists joining us in Nelson, who have just completed a review of the latest science around this very topic. We're looking forward to them revealing what their review of 281 of the newest and highest quality scientific papers says about the nutrition that seafood can provide and the impact that can have on human health.' Other topics on the table, providing Seafood for Thought are: • How the sector can sustainably grow its export value. Seafood is already worth around $2.2 billion a year to the New Zealand economy, so how do we increase this in a way that is sustainable for our ecosystems • What we can do to manage the trade-related challenges we face in today's fast changing geopolitical environment The Conference will also hear about safety at sea and on land, careers in seafood and how skippers can contribute to the science needed to manage our fisheries with greater certainty. The 2025 Seafood New Zealand Conference runs for two days – August 6 and 7. Fast Facts – Key Data about New Zealand Commercial Fishing • New Zealand's commercial wild capture fisheries are worth $1.6 billion in export revenue • Our seafood sector produces $2.2 billion in export revenue in total (including aquaculture) • 16,500 Kiwis are employed either directly or indirectly in seafood • Fisheries management is complex – there are 642 fish stocks under management • New Zealand fish stocks are in good shape. 97.3% of total commercial landings by weight are from stocks that are considered sustainable (see MPI data).

Unlabelled GE Food Leaves Consumers In The Dark
Aotearoa New Zealand – Consumers have just lost a fundamental right to informed choice about the food they're eating, says the Soil & Health Association. New Zealand Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard and his eight Australian state counterparts have approved a decision to allow genetically engineered food ingredients to enter unlabelled into the food chain of both countries. 'This is an alarming and unscientific move that removes our right to know what's in our food,' says Charles Hyland, chair of the Soil & Health Association. 'New Zealanders want to know what they're eating, and be able to avoid things they don't want.' 'Allowing unlabelled GE ingredients that have no novel DNA ignores the fact that changes can and do occur as a result of all types of genetic engineering – whether it introduces novel DNA or not.' Gene edited cattle in the USA were heralded as a success and claimed to have no novel DNA. However it was then found that bacterial DNA had been introduced, conferring antibiotic resistance, and the cattle were withdrawn from the market. Similar situations could happen with food that supposedly has no novel DNA. Our knowledge of the risks to health from GE foods is still very limited, and there is very little long-term independent research to draw from. 'What happens if there is a health issue from GE food? How could we pinpoint it to that GE food? If it's unlabelled, authorities won't be able to trace it or issue a food recall.' The onus will now be on consumers to ask retailers and food companies whether there are any GE ingredients in their food. 'The best ways to avoid GE food ingredients are to eat organic food, grow your own, favour whole foods and avoid ultra-processed foods.'

Shuffles continue at top of hospital project
A fast-rising bureaucrat brought in to helm the government's reset of the new Dunedin hospital project has been dumped from the inpatient build, the Otago Daily Times understands. Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora (HNZ) head of infrastructure delivery Blake Lepper had fronted the $1.88 billion Dunedin hospital project for HNZ, including standing alongside ministers at press briefings and being described as ''senior responsible officer''. Mr Lepper arrived at HNZ last March from a management role at the Infrastructure Commission, but after repeated questions to HNZ from the Otago Daily Times about whether Mr Lepper was still senior responsible officer for the inpatient build, the agency admitted he is not. Tony Lloyd, who was removed as the build's programme director in November, has been confirmed as project director for the build. HNZ said Mr Lepper, who has a law and physics degree from the University of Otago, retained responsibilities for completion of Dunedin's outpatient building, and workforce and data and digital work streams, as well as other infrastructure projects. The period of Mr Lepper's leadership of the inpatient build was fraught. After piles were driven, no contract was awarded to build the inpatients building and ministers claimed a project blowout, and sought a reset. Meanwhile, sources moaned about HNZ leadership prevarication causing delays. The option of refurbishing the existing ward block, rather than constructing a new inpatient building, had been previously considered and ditched, but was reconsidered under Mr Lepper and dismissed again. Mr Lepper's departure from the inpatient building comes hot on the heels of other senior personnel changes and announcements relating to how the project is staffed, delivered and governed. Last month, corporate boss Evan Davies — group chief executive of gas and property company Todd and member of a new HNZ health infrastructure committee — was appointed as crown manager of the inpatient building project by Health Minister Simeon Brown. When announcing the appointment, Mr Brown said HNZ had ''struggled to maintain momentum on the project and identify a path forward''. Mr Brown, who had spoken in January alongside Mr Lepper at a press conference announcing the inpatient build would go ahead, has repeatedly stressed that Mr Davies now has authority to make appointments to run the project. In the press conference, Mr Brown said the focus was ''cracking on'' with the build. Mr Lepper's messaging in the conference was less clear. He said HNZ was committed to leading the project, but was also ''looking across government to get the support we need to make sure we can move''. He was ''really grateful'' for support that was being provided by Crown Infrastructure Delivery (CID), a crown agency tasked with helping government departments manage infrastructure builds. Subsequent to Mr Davies becoming crown manager, HNZ sent Australian construction giant CPB a ''letter of intent'' to hire the firm to deliver the inpatient building. CID, which has no hospital-building experience, will not be project managing CPB's work. A question mark also hovers over the future and role of the project's governance committee, the Project Steering Group (PSG), which is meant to oversee the build. Rebecca Wark, the former head of health construction for New South Wales, was the most recent independent chairwoman of the PSG, but HNZ said her contract ended last month and it was ''currently reviewing the structure of the group''.
