Professional Advisory Panel

The Eczema Association of New Zealand Inc (EANZ) is proud to be supported by a dedicated Professional Advisory Panel. Our panel members play a vital role in guiding the association by providing expert advice on eczema-related matters, ensuring that the information, resources, and support we provide to the community are accurate, safe, and evidence-based. Panel members assist with evaluating products and ingredients provided by our corporate partners, offering their professional insight to ensure these align with the needs of people living with eczema.

​

Beyond this, they support the EANZ by answering complex medical and skin-related questions that our team may not have the expertise to address, helping to shape resources, information sheets, and guidance for our members. Bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge from across the skin health sector, our panelists help the EAA maintain its focus on improving the lives of those affected by eczema. Their contributions strengthen our community, inform our programs, and help guide the future of both our support services and partnerships. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment, which enables the EANZ to provide trusted advice and meaningful support to the eczema community throughout New Zealand.
