Press Release

The Aotearoa Aged Care Action Plan is a sector-sourced and sector-endorsed call to action for our aged care sector.

By 2028, roughly 25% of our population will be over 65. For a variety of reasons, we have no clear, overarching plan to support this cohort effectively. We simply are not ready.

As a response to this, Kaitātari Kaupapa Here Matua | Senior Analyst Rachel Mackay has created a desperately needed clear and actionable plan. It lays out key areas of focus and offers solutions that we believe could improve things.

Drawing on the experience and insight of our NZCCSS membership organisations and other industry and thought leaders, the plan presents nine clear objectives supported by direct actions that can be taken to make meaningful change for our Kaumātua and the services that support them.

Over a year in the making and developed alongside many sector experts, we are hopeful that this work will inform change and support good decision-making.

We are committed to building a meaningful, collaborative relationship with our communities, support sectors, and local and national governments to implement the actions of this plan. Join us in uniting government support with the expertise of the aged care sector to address these key issues.

The NZCCSS team is actively engaging the wider sector and forming working groups to drive this mission forward. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in being involved.

Let’s work together to transform aged care for our kaumātua and ensure it is fit for the future.
