Organisations are dealing with greater
workloads, without a corresponding increase in funding. The individuals, families and whānau they are seeing have more complex needs, and some organisations are concerned that they do not have the expertise and funding to provide adequate support. Many organisations are struggling
financially – and additional compliance costs from contracting changes add to the burden.
The survey was sent to all ComVoices umbrella groups (see appendix). One hundred and thirty three organisations responded to the survey, which was carried out in November 2018. This is
well down from the 286 responses to the 2016 survey. The survey gives community organisations the opportunity to discuss the issues and experiences they are facing, and to highlight trends. Some new questions have been added and others changed slightly. (From the survey). The results of this 2018 survey were released in December 2019. Follow links to the previous 2016 and 2014 surveys.
