Repair Network Aotearoa

Repair Network Aotearoa (RNA) is a not-for-profit trust dedicated to cultivating a robust culture of repair and reuse across New Zealand. Our mission is to empower individuals to have access to repair opportunities and learn repair skills; to support local Repair Cafés and repair businesses; and to advocate for the Right to Repair. We connect and strengthen our communities through a nationwide network of Repair Cafés, educational initiatives, and policy advocacy. This collective work allows us to extend the lifespan of goods, reduce environmental waste, and build a more resilient Aotearoa.

Repair Cafés are free pop-up events where people bring in their broken or damaged belongings and local volunteer experts do their best to repair them. Visit our website to find your local Repair Café.

RNA sits within the context of the International repair movement, and advocacy for mandatory Product Stewardship in New Zealand. Making products repairable and durable by design is an essential step toward waste minimisation, decarbonisation and climate justice, a goal that RNA supports actively with its collaborators.
