About Us

The Otago/Southland Society was established in 1944 - one of the first of the current eight affiliated Societies of the Amputees Federation of New Zealand Inc. It has approximately 200 members and is administered by a Committee based in Dunedin. Membership of the Committee includes people from Southland and other areas outside Dunedin.

Services Provided by our Society

• Hospital and home visits.
• A quarterly newsletter, together with the national magazine, Purpose.
• Information on support available to amputees.
• Some financial assistance to members in need.
• Coordination of visits by Limb Centre staff to Invercargill. These enable amputees in Southland to consult limb-fitters and have adjustments made to limbs without having to travel to the Limb Centre in Dunedin.
• Social functions in Dunedin and Invercargill which provide an opportunity for members to meet fellow amputees and discuss common problems.
