About us
NZCAST Ōtautahi Charitable Trust is a survivor-led movement built from lived experience, for survivors of abuse in state care.
We are not just a charity — we are a whānau.
Our kaupapa is grounded in truth, healing, accountability, and change. We create safe spaces where survivors and their whānau can come without judgement, without pressure, and without having to prove their pain. Here, you are seen, heard, and believed.
We walk alongside survivors on their healing journey by providing:
Safe, supportive community spaces (Whare Tapu)
Advocacy and guidance through complex systems like ACC, MSD, and redress
Connection to resources, housing, and long-term support
Wānanga, kaupapa gatherings, and cultural reconnection
A strong collective voice pushing for justice and systemic change
We exist because the system failed us — and continues to fail many.
We are here to break that cycle.
Everything we do is about restoring mana, rebuilding lives, and creating a future where our tamariki and mokopuna never have to endure what we did.
This is about more than support.
This is about transformation.
This is about justice.
This is about us.
