About

A carer is a person who supports a member of their family, whānau, or aiga who is unwell or has a chronic health condition or disability.

A group of national charities and non-government organisations have come together to establish the New Zealand Carers Alliance, agreeing to the aims, functions and procedures set out below.

The Alliance is based on the understanding that members have a community of interest and that in agreed areas members will be more effective when acting cooperatively to recognise, value and support family, whānau and aiga carers.

The Alliance has also agreed that it cannot direct or restrict member organisations’ efforts on behalf of carers or in any way limit the autonomy of members.

Aim

To provide a means for non-government organisations concerned with the needs of family, whānau and aiga carers to work together for the development and promotion of policies and strategies to meet their needs..
