Social policy payments

The second long-term outcome we deliver for New Zealand is to ensure people receive Government social policy payments they are entitled to, enabling them to take part in society.

By doing this effectively, IR is supporting 336,000 families, facilitating child support for 145,000 children and processing KiwiSaver contributions for 3.4 million New Zealanders.

IR has also geared up to implement the new FamilyBoost scheme.

Giving New Zealanders certainty and options In administering social policy payments, IR aims to distribute money efficiently and effectively to help give people and families choices and certainty about their incomes and retirement.
The customers at the centre of child support The payers and receivers of child support have some of the most complex needs of our customers. Our teams need to be well rounded and empathetic negotiators and communicators to reach good outcomes for customers.
