NZCCSS Future Wellbeing Conference

Social Services for New Zealand’s Future

How do we maintain our commitments to responding to need in our communities, help whānau become stronger and New Zealand be a just and compassionate society? Should we be responding differently? How do we ensure our services are effective and sustainable?

It’s time to regroup as a social service sector, amidst significant policy, political, funding and financial changes, work together to shape and gain clarity about the direction ahead.

This conference will provide CEOs, managers, senior staff and board members of community based (NGO) social services with vital information on the future of social service provision in New Zealand. This will be a challenging and thought provoking conference that explores the thinking behind government policy and practice and provides an opportunity for the sector to begin to develop an alternative vision for our whānau, families and communities.

This is a ‘must do’ conference for those planning, managing and delivering services and advocacy that lead to real change for marginalised and vulnerable New Zealanders.
