Have your say on the Families Commission Act Repeal Bill

The Social Services and Community Committee is seeking submissions on the Families Commission Act Repeal Bill. The bill aims to improve social science research and advocacy for families. The bill would repeal the Families Commission Act 2003 and disestablish the Families Commission, which operates as Superu.

Some of the commission’s functions have already been transferred to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Social Development, and the Social Investment Agency. The commission’s remaining responsibilities, liabilities, and assets will be transferred to the Ministry of Social Development when the legislation begins.
Tell the Social Services and Community Committee what you think
Send your submission on the bill by midnight on Friday 16 March 2018.
