The Welfare Expert Advisory Group will be visiting 16 locations for community forums, where you can share your views on the future of New Zealand’s welfare system.
The advisory group wants to know:
- What's working in our welfare system?
- What isn't working well?
- What could be done better?
- What level of support should be available?
- What are the values that should underpin our welfare system?
All venues are fully accessible. New Zealand Sign Language interpreters will be available at all community forums.
The community forums are open to all members of the community, so children are welcome, but the organisers are not able to provide child care.
If you can't get to a forum, there are other ways to have your say by 9 November 2018.
