On Rare Disease Day, the iconic Aotea Centre will light up in Rare colours in solidarity with the estimated 300,000 New Zealanders living with a rare disorder.
Led by Rare Disorders NZ, the Light Up for Rare campaign marks the beginning of Rare Disorders Month and shines a spotlight on the urgent need for action following the Government’s commitment to New Zealand’s first Rare Disorders Strategy.
The illumination is a visible show of support for individuals and whānau navigating rare conditions — raising awareness of the challenges they face, including delayed diagnosis, limited access to treatment, and gaps in coordinated care.
Head to Aotea Square to witness the Centre glow in solidarity and help raise awareness this Rare Disorders Month.
