A two-day clinical-education symposium for New Zealand natural-health practitioners, held 29–30 August 2026 at AUT South Campus in Manukau and organised by long-established practitioner supplier Pacific Health.
The Pacific Health Symposium 2026 is a two-day professional-development event for New Zealand's natural-health practitioners, running on 29 and 30 August 2026 at Auckland University of Technology's South Campus in Manukau, South Auckland. The organiser describes it as a practitioner event offering clinical education and access to international speakers, and states plainly that it is not open to the general public.
The symposium is run by Pacific Health, the trading name of Pacific Health & Fitness Ltd, a New Zealand supplier of health products and supplements that has served the country's natural-health practitioners since 1984. The 2026 event is the second edition, following an inaugural symposium in 2025 that the organiser cites in attendee feedback on the event page.
The audience is qualified natural-health practitioners — naturopaths, medical herbalists and nutritionists among them. The programme is built around expert-led seminars that carry CPE points, a trade exhibition featuring more than 25 natural-health brands, and structured networking, including a Saturday-evening Mix & Mingle. The confirmed line-up includes keynote speakers Dr Leah Hechtman, Dr Brad Leech and Lee Carroll, with additional sessions on gut and immune health, women's hormonal health, environmental detoxification and metabolic health.
The event is held at AUT South Campus, 640 Great South Road, Auckland 2104, which sits in Manukau in South Auckland. This matches the claimed AUT Manukau (South Campus) location. For attendees travelling in, the organiser lists nearby accommodation options in the Manukau and East Tamaki area. The campus's Great South Road position places it in South Auckland's main commercial belt, within the wider Manukau area near Auckland Airport.
The symposium is a repeat, sector-specific professional conference that uses a university campus rather than a dedicated convention centre — a reminder that AUT's South Campus functions as a business-events venue for South Auckland. As a two-day national gathering drawing practitioners from across the country, with a trade exhibition and evening social function attached, it represents the kind of mid-scale vertical conference that anchors demand for South Auckland accommodation and services outside the central-city venue cluster.
