Realising 2030 consultation proposals

We’ve taken a significant step forward in realising Strategy 2030, to build a New Zealand Red Cross that places our people at the heart of all we do, is sustainable for the future and where we can have an even a stronger impact in our communities.

On this page you will find our Realising 2030 proposals for changes to New Zealand Red Cross. Consultation on these proposals closed at 5pm on Wednesday 10 August, but the documents are still available on this page for you to view, along with questions and answers that you may find helpful. 

If you shared your thoughts with us or took time to look through the proposals, thank you. 

We expect decisions will be communicated at the end of September 2022. A timeline for implementing any proposed changes and filling new positions will be shared once final decisions have been made.  

Our National President Kerry Nickels, and Secretary General Sarah (Norm) Stuart-Black, prepared some short video messages for everyone:

Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
