Caregiver advertising

This policy applies when we are advertising for caregivers.

Advertisements are for general recruitment

Advertisements must not seek caregivers for specific tamariki.

Advertisements can be used to:

  • attract people who may be interested in becoming a caregiver
  • attract caregivers who are willing to provide a specific type of care, such as respite care or permanent care
  • seek caregivers with skills or knowledge relevant to the local care population.
Guidance
 
Advertising for caregivers

This guidance helps us develop appropriate advertisements to attract caregivers, and sets out the process.

Where we can advertise

Advertisements can be placed online or in print media.

Advertisements must not be placed anywhere that:

  • is inconsistent with the wellbeing and mana of tamariki
  • promotes harmful behaviour
  • is politically aligned.

This includes websites associated primarily with trading goods and services, such as Trade Me.

Approval of advertisements

Advertisements must be approved at the appropriate level:

  • National advertising — General Manager Caregiver Recruitment and Support
