Welcome to Platform Trust

Platform champions community organisations that support New Zealanders by providing a wide range of mental health and addiction services across the country and creating a positive place for people experiencing mental health and addiction issues to live and work.

Platform press releases and presentations.

Pay Equity

Formal negotiations for mental health and addiction support workers to be included in the TerraNova settlement have now begun with the Ministry of Health, funders, employers (represented by Platform) and employees (represented by the PSA and E tū unions).  More information can be found on this page https://www.platform.org.nz/Pay-Equity

Fast Track

Fast Track is a discussion document that highlights some of the key issues for the further development of the community support workforce.  If you would like to be involved in a discussion about how best to support the development of the community support workforce and how to make progress on the issues (and actions) that have been identified in Fast Track, then Te Pou and Platform Trust are keen to talk with you about the possibility of hosting a forum in your local area.  Please contact Emma Wood for further details.

On Track

On Track is the sector’s response to implementing the changes proposed in the Ministry of Health’s Rising to the Challenge and Blueprint II strategies.  It aims to provide a robust evidence base to direct the system change required to better meet the needs of New Zealanders experiencing mental illness and addiction.

NZ Navigator

NZ Navigator is a free online tool to allow organisations to self-assess their current status on the core functions of an effective organisation.

Equally Well

Platform supports the Equally Well movement promoting the need for equitable physical health outcomes for people experiencing mental illness and addiction.
