Speaker: Laurie Hilgsen, Director, Carers NZ*.

When carers are compensated at a fair market rate for their labour (either during the family member's lifetime, or as a proportion of their estate)
A contract for a specific time, or for life?
Compensation as a lump sum, or in specific payments?
A contract for specific services?
What happens when a carer takes a break, resigns, or becomes incapacitated?
Tax implications for all parties

Laurie Hilsgen is CEO of Carers NZ, the national peak body for family carers. More than 420,000 Kiwis support an ill, disabled, or frail aged family member. Family carers are New Zealand’s biggest health workforce and, in an ageing society, will have an increasingly vital role.

Central Library
65 Victoria St
Wellington 6011
Thursday, November 26, 2009, 7 – 8pm

With Hector Busby, Jack Thatcher and Hoturoa Barclay Kerr

Celebrating celestial navigation, the event Mata Ora highlights and pays tribute to the courageous deep sea voyaging explorations of Maori using the sun, moon and stars as they sought new lands.

Today there is a revival of oceanic navigation by the stars underway throughout the Pacific ocean and you can join leading star navigators Hekenukumai (Hector) Busby, Jack Thatcher and Hoturoa Barclay Kerr for a special evening sharing their knowledge and firsthand experience of Maori celestial navigation. Hear their stories of blue sea navigation using the ancient waka hourua (twin hull sailing vessels) as they traverse the history of Maori seeking out new lands that resulted in the discovery of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

To find out more about Mata Ora check out the four day event Mata Ora – The Living Knowledge, organised by the Society of Maori Astronomy, Research and Tourism. Mata Ora 2009 is proudly supported by UNESCO.

Ngā kanohi o te rangi – the eyes of the sky.
