Because bottom of the barrel shouldn't be a goal
Meet Bill the Pill

This is Bill. He’s a pill. Literally.

But he’s not just any pill, Bill’s here to help you navigate the complicated world of medicines access in New Zealand.

Bill knows the system can be slow, confusing, and let’s be honest, quite a bit below average. That’s why he’s here to unpack the complicated stuff in a way that’s simple, honest, and sometimes even a little bit funny.

Whether it’s explaining how decisions get made, or what it means to be “average” when it comes to New Zealand’s medicines access Bill's got you covered.

You’ll spot him in videos, on your feed, and around here too.
He’s small, but he punches above his weight.

Stay tuned Bill’s just getting started.
