CEO Message September 2026

Kia ora koutou,

Last week we launched our new registration platform for caregiver training. This means signing up for courses will look a little different to what you’re used to – but please be assured the process is very straightforward.

You’ll find more detail in the Training section below. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call – our wonderful team will be more than happy to help.

The office has been a hive of activity recently, as we began packaging and distributing our 50th anniversary gifts to members. I hope you enjoy these small keepsakes – and if you haven’t yet told us you’d like to receive a gift, please complete this form so we can send one to you.

Happy Father’s Day to our caregiving Dads – thank you for being such a wonderful role model for the child or young person in your care. I know it is hard at times and you may feel like you’re not making a difference, but your guidance and presence is key. You’re doing an amazing job and someone’s world is a lot brighter with you in it.

Noho ora mai (Stay well, look after yourself, bye for now),

Linda Surtees
Chief Executive, Caring Families Aotearoa
