This guide exists to support readers to gain a general overview of the context of older people in Aotearoa. It is in no way a definitive guide, rather it was created to share a good
overview of the world of older New Zealanders, and the systems and structures that exist. It’s a beginner’s guide to everything available (and not available) for older people in
New Zealand. While readers can sit down and read from cover to cove r, the intention was to summarise and direct readers on to other information – sometimes more detailed,
sometimes more specific. (From the document). Elder abuse and workforce issues are covered in Ngā Hononga } Relationships (pp.50-60). Record #8352
