Events

The Families Commission holds events, forums and speeches throughout New Zealand to communicate research findings and launch publications and resources.

The Commission holds wānanga, frequently in partnership with local iwi, to gather stories and information about the experiences of whānau, to give back the documented stories and to launch our publications and resources.

Where available, we provide audio, transcript and video links to speeches and presentations given by Families Commission staff and commissioners.
