New Zealand Injury Prevention Strategy (NZIPS)

New Zealand does not have a specific strategy addressing Home Safety. However, we do have an overall Injury Prevention Strategy. The purpose of this Strategy is to establish a framework for the injury prevention activities of government agencies, local government, non-government organisations, communities and individuals.

The Strategy sets out the Government's vision for a New Zealand where more people can live free of injury while continuing to lead active and challenging lives. The Strategy will assist New Zealand to better focus its injury prevention efforts and resources by providing a clear direction to the range of agencies, organisations and communities which have either a direct involvement, or a contributory role to play, in injury prevention activity in New Zealand.
