Carers Alliance Petition
Kia ora Koutou – Te Kahu Pairuri o Aotearoa / Hospice New Zealand is a member of the Carers Alliance of 56 national not for profits.
Since 2004 the Alliance has worked to improve recognition and support for our country’s one million plus family, whānau and āiga carers – those who assist family members who are frail, unwell, or have a serious health condition or disability. We can all expect to give or receive family care during our lives.
This petition calls for a Minister or Commissioner for family carers, and true action to support their physical, mental, and financial wellbeing. Petition closes 31 October 2024.
Together we have tried everything to get government and its agencies to listen and do more. The petition is a first step in our upcoming election campaign to seek better progress for New Zealand’s family carers. You’ll learn more about the We Care NZ campaign in the weeks ahead. For now, take the first step to move things forward for carers – click to sign the petition.
Ngā mihi nui on behalf of,
Wayne Naylor, Chief Executive – Te Kahu Pairuri o Aotearoa – Hospice New Zealand
