National Delegate Committee

Tēnā koutou katoa

My name is Liandra Conradie (Fouché), and I am a Registered Nurse currently working in General Surgery at Middlemore Hospital.

For the past five years, I have proudly served as a ward union delegate, becoming increasingly active over the last two to three years. My involvement has included contributing to the Care Capacity Demand Management (CCDM) Council, supporting and organising stop-work meetings, and participating in strike planning.

The experience of attending a face to face NDC meeting as proxy provided invaluable insight into the broader challenges facing delegates and members across the motu, and strengthened my determination to represent colleagues who may feel hesitant or unheard. For the past six months, I have had the privilege of serving as the National Delegate for Counties.

Ngā mihi nui.

My name is Syliva Theresa Dodd. I was born in Suva, Fiji Islands and came to New Zealand in 1986 as a child. I am extremely passionate about fair treatment, safe staffing, and safe care for our community. 

I have been a Healthcare Assistant for 30 years now having worked in geriatric hospitals and now at Whangarei Hospital where I have been a delegate for 5 years.  During that time I have been heavily involved in industrial actions and the delegates group.

I am a current NZNO delegate. As a senior nurse, I believe we need stronger representation. In my role as a DNM, I have oversight of the entire hospital, giving me an in-depth understanding of the issues affecting our hospital.

Originally from the Philippines, I am an Internationally Qualified Nurse (IQN) working as a Neonatal ICU Registered Nurse and NICU Retrieval Flight Nurse at Waikato Hospital.

Since joining NZNO in 2020 as a workplace delegate, my commitment to advocating for nurses’ rights and improving working conditions has continued to grow. This dedication led to my appointment as a National Delegate for Waikato in 2022.

I aim to amplify the voices of nurses across Waikato, bringing proactive problem-solving, a clear understanding of the challenges faced by frontline healthcare workers, and a steadfast commitment to positive change within our profession.

Together, let us strive for a brighter future for nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand.

For the past three years, I have served as an NZNO delegate, inspired by my grandad’s encouragement to channel my passion for workers’ rights into meaningful advocacy.

Outside of work, I enjoy life with my husband and our two lively golden retrievers.
