HIA Reference Group

The Health Impact Assessment Support Unit's Reference Group was set up in March 2008 to advise the Unit on its strategic direction and the application of Health Impact Assessment in central government policy making processes.

The HIA Reference Group acted as a 'critical friend', debating and testing ideas in taking health impact assessment forward in New Zealand. The membership includes independent technical experts and representatives of central government organisations with an interest in taking forward health impact assessment.

The Reference Group was reconfigured in June 2010 as an expert panel, in line with the recommendations for the Ministerial Review Group Report (August 2009).
