Open Letter to Hon Nicola Willis from the Home and Community Health Association: URGENT: Fuel Cost Crisis Risk Home Care – Immediate Action Required

Mar 30, 2026


When support workers can't afford their fuel, vulnerable New Zealanders and their whanau pay the price. Home and Community Health Association is calling on Hon Nicola Willis to recognise and value the work that Care and Support Workers and Community Health Care Professionals do each day to support our Hospitals and Primary Care Centres. This is a funding issue leading to a potential health system crisis. Immediate reassurance and action on support workers travel reimbursement isn't optional - it's essential.
