About this engagement

Tēnā koutou katoa, Hello, Noa'ia, Mauri, Ni sa bula vinaka, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Tālofa, Kia orana, Mālō e lelei, Mālō nī, Talofa lava.  

The purpose of this online engagement is to provide another way for people to share their ideas for how care and support can be improved in Aotearoa New Zealand. It doesn’t replace existing engagement activities or the ability for survivors and their whānau to engage with us through private sessions or statements. We encourage survivors or their whānau who want to share their own experience of abuse or neglect to contact us by phone, email or text so we can arrange to do this in a way that works best for them.

Our Contact Centre can be reached on 0800 222 727 weekdays 8:30am to 4:30pm (NZT) excluding public holidays, by text on 8185 or by email: contact@abuseincare.org.nz.
