Carers NZ would love to hear from as many family carers as possible for our second State of Caring survey. Your feedback is so important in order to understand how family carers are doing: how they are feeling, how they are faring, what help they get, what help they need, and any concerns. We’ve partnered with Synergia again to produce a new report from your feedback for the second survey. It will be interesting to see what has and hasn’t changed for you since the first survey in 2021.
It’s never been more important to amplify your voices in surveys, reports, and advocacy. Please share the link with other carers so we can double down on progressing things for carers. If you’ve already done the survey, thank you so much!

More than a million New Zealanders care for family members and whānau who are ill, frail, injured, or have a health condition or disability.
But family carers can feel invisible, taken for granted. They aren’t getting the support they need to keep going.
The Carers Alliance of 50+ national not for profits is calling for action to protect carers’ mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.
