NZCCSS works to ensure that government policies encourage quality services which meet the real needs of older people.
NZCCSS advocates for a vision of services that place the older person at the centre, receiving services in the way that best meets their needs.
Our work focuses on services for older people by:
- Advocating for policies that emphasise positive ageing for older people
- Campaigning for a fairer and more efficient negotiating and contracting process to be adopted by the Ministry of Health
- Advocating for greater certainty in funding levels across the spectrum of services for older people
- Providing members with timely and relevant information about services for older people.
