NZCOSS


NZCOSS is a national umbrella organisation for local Councils of Social Services and other social service networks throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. We use our collective voice to influence decision-makers in a way that leads to policy action, social change and community empowerment.  We recognise that by working together, we can more effectively support local communities and member organisations to achieve social well-being.  

The membership of local COSS includes people in local government and people working locally for central government agencies, as well as people working for not-for-profit and voluntary social service organisations.

 

We place high value on Maori and Pakeha working together in partnership based on the Treaty of Waitangi, along with full engagement in our multi-ethnic and multicultural society.
