The Tourette's Association of Aotearoa New Zealand (TANZ) has been supporting children, young people and adults living with Tourette Syndrome and chronic tic disorders since 2013. Every year, the Association supports thousands of New Zealanders as they adjust to life living with Tourette Syndrome, or when supporting a family member or individual with Tourette Syndrome. The vision remains as it has since its inception - that one day the world will be a safe and welcoming place for those living with Tourette Syndrome. Due to the growth of its membership and the scope of the advocacy work that it does with schools, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, the Association is now looking to strengthen its board to usher in an exciting new phase of growth and development. The TANZ Board currently comprises five members. Due to the growth of the organisation, we are currently looking to appoint two (2) new board members.
