The Ministry of Social Development wants your feedback on the draft Carers’ Strategy Action Plan
2019–2023.
One in ten New Zealanders is a carer, supporting friends and family who have a disability, health condition, illness or injury and need help with everyday living.
The new Action Plan seeks to support carer wellbeing and make sure that caring is sustainable.
The draft Action Plan was developed in partnership with the Carers Alliance and other government agencies, including the Ministry of Health. It also looked at research on carers, previous action plans, and what people said when the new Action Plan began development in 2018.

Now MSD want carers to tell them whether the draft Action Plan reflects what matters most to you. MSD knows that many older New Zealanders are caring for people at home, and want to hear what you think.
You can find out more about the Action Plan at http://www.msd.govt.nz/carers and fill out an online survey. You can email MSD at [email protected] or write to MSD Carers’ Strategy, Level 9, P O Box 1556, Wellington 6140, New Zealand.
Submissions close on 16 August, 2019.
