Driving Collective Impact for a Safer Future
FutureSafe Aotearoa’s Backbone is the driving force behind meaningful change in health, safety, and wellbeing across New Zealand.
Acting as the connector, catalyst, and enabler, it brings together diverse voices—workers, businesses, communities, and policymakers—into a unified movement for better outcomes.
By fostering collaboration, providing strategic direction, and equipping stakeholders with the tools and knowledge to act, the backbone transforms isolated efforts into collective success. It’s not just about setting goals; it’s about building trust, inspiring action, and creating a safer, healthier future for all. Together, we can amplify impact and make a lasting difference.
