Four times a year we put together a newsletter for our members — news from the Dunedin Dialysis Unit, kidney health updates from across New Zealand, recipes, member stories, and a heads-up on what’s coming next at OKS. Every issue is free to download.
Joining OKS is free, and the easiest way to make sure you never miss a newsletter. Email info@oks.nz and we’ll add you to the list, or fill in the membership form below.

Looking for an issue older than 2023? We keep a paper archive going back further — please email us and we’ll send what we can find.
We love hearing from members. Whether it’s a story, a recipe that worked for you, a kidney-friendly tip, a question for the renal team, or just a hello — please send it through. Submissions are usually due about two weeks before each season.
