Carers New Zealand is an information and advocacy organisation for the one in five New Zealanders who provides care at home for sick, frail, injured or disabled family members. It works with regional organisations that support carers, providing information resources and guest speakers. Carers New Zealand also undertakes research, makes input into policy and service developments important to carers, and is part of a global network of carer support and advocacy organisations. Most recently it has established a national forum for young carers.
