About us


Who we are and what we do

The NGO Working Group are NGO representatives, elected by the not-for profit NGO sector. They meet regularly to work on issues that affect not-for-profit NGOs. They also plan NGO-Ministry of Health Forums and act as an ongoing communications network between health and disability NGOs and the Ministry of Health.

The members of the NGO Working Group are elected by and from NGOs operating within each of the following Health and Disability subsectors:
  • Personal Health (2 reps)
  • Public Health (2 reps)
  • Mental Health (2 reps)
  • Maori Health (3 reps)
  • Pacific Island Health (2 reps)
  • Disability Support Services (2 reps)
The Ministry of Health also has two invited, non-voting representatives on the NGO Working Group.

Why members are elected

Members are elected because of their specific sector knowledge. They are expected to be leaders within their particular agency and within the sector and to act as a conduit of information for dissemination through their sub-sector networks.


Relationships

The NGO Working Group is not intended to replace any existing relationships that individual NGOs, or groups of NGOs, have with the Ministry of Health or district Health boards.
