Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector


OCVS logo

The Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector (OCVS) was established in September 2003 to address overarching issues affecting the community and voluntary sector, and to raise the profile of the sector within government.

The OCVS works across government with the aim of achieving excellent relationships between government agencies and community, voluntary and Māori organisations.

 The OCVS is part of the Ministry of Social Development.
