Promote what you do to Family Care readers

Family carers, older people, those who are frail or unwell, and people who have a chronic condition or disability.

Family Care has been a source of information since 2007 for our large reader community, which also includes health professionals, service providers, support workers, and many others.

Workplaces

1 in 8 of every workplace is a family carer and growing numbers of workers (doubling in the next 10 years) will have caring responsibilities for family members who are frail, unwell, or have a chronic condition or disability. Family Care is distributed to employees across workplaces participating in Carers NZ’s CareWise programme. Reach this large and unique audience of decision-makers through Family Care.

Distribution and reach

At least 20,000 copies of the magazine are distributed nationwide to people and organisations who have requested a subscription. Most copies are sent directly by Carers NZ to subscribers’ homes and businesses. This delivers a readership mix of family carers, disabled people, older people, and New Zealanders self-managing a health condition, as well as healthcare professionals, community organisations, government networks, and health, disability, and social services.

Copies of the digital magazine are distributed to workplaces across the country to share with staff. Links for our digital publications are also shared with Carers NZ’s network of 80,000+ people and organisations, including almost 60 national not for profits and their regional outlets within the Carers Alliance. These networks often insert the link into their own e-newsletters, social media pages, and other online products.

Digital issues are also sent to members of charity and community organisations, health organisations (associations for GPs, nurses, social workers, therapists, hospitals, chemists, regional Health networks, and other allied professions) plus schools and educational institutes, purpose driven corporations, Members of Parliament, local government agencies, and government networks.

Since its launch in 2007, the magazine has built a diverse readership base in partnership with organisations committed to the wellbeing of older people, those self-managing disabilities or a health condition, family carers, and those providing goods and services to this large community of New Zealanders. Family Care is made possible by revenue from advertisers and cornerstone partners, who have an especially strong bond with this audience.

We welcome inquiries about partnerships with Family Care. Options include general advertising, distribution or promotional relationships, or becoming a Family Care cornerstone. Along with print magazines, we can offer links to our digital editions to share with your networks and clients. Please contact us to discuss a partnership with Family Care.
