New Zealand Care Workforce Survey 2019

Associate Professor Katherine Ravenswood and Dr Julie Douglas, from our Care/Work Research Group, conducted a survey on the work experiences of care and support workers, enrolled registered nurses and managers in the following areas:

  • Residential aged care
  • Home care
  • Disability support
  • Mental health and addiction

These sectors are vital to the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders, so it is important that we understand those who provide and manage care in these areas. The research could contribute to improved policy and work practices for these workers. The findings will be presented in a publicly available report.


The New Zealand Care Workforce Survey 2019 has now closed. Thank you very much to all who responded to the survey. Your participation is important, and the survey will be reported on in 2020.

A random number generator was used to determine the winners of the prize draw. The winners of the prize draw should receive their vouchers before Christmas.  Lucky winners will receive these prizes:

  • $500 vouchers to a winner in Auckland
  • $100 vouchers to winners in Timaru and New Plymouth
  • $50 vouchers to winners in Waikato, Featherston, Palmerston North and Wellington
