This page is dedicated to NZNO's Aged Care Campaign which seeks to improve the working conditions for aged care workers, and therefore the living conditions of elderly, across Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Here you can find resources about work we've done to date. This page will be updated as new work is undertaken. 

Open letter to Jacinda Ardern

One of the initiatives that we promoted for Caregivers Week was an open letter sent by NZNO, E tū and NZNO to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to draw her attention to unsafe staffing in Aged Care facilities.

To mark Caregivers Week, we also held a livestream with Grey Power and E tū where workers and organisers spoke to politicians about their concerns and aspirations for aged care workers.
