Care Facility Membership

Care Facility Membership

This membership is for care facilities who provide aged residential care services to older New Zealanders.

The ACA offers a range of services to its members, including individual support, national representation, seminars, and educational opportunities.

Membership benefits:

  • Representation: The ACA increasingly represents members in a number of government forums and official committee, as well as to Minister/MPs/Officials, making sure members’ concerns and the sector are represented at the highest level.
  • Training and Professional Development: The ACA operates a number of topical seminar and professional development courses through out the country for caregivers, enrolled nurses, registered nurses and managers, so they can be up-to-date with the latest developments in the sector. All the latest details for these days can be found in our Training Days Section.
  • Individual support: The ACA provides support and advice to individual members, particularly on matters that have potential national or wider membership implications.
