Our strategy—what we're here to do
Our aspiration is to improve oranga for current and future generations
We make our biggest contribution through economic activities including collecting and distributing money.
We’ll know we’re successfully moving towards achieving our aspiration when:
- Revenue is available to fund government programmes and services.
- People receive their entitlements.
- Oranga increases when we work with other organisations.
- The intergenerational oranga of the people of New Zealand is supported by our active stewardship.
These are the outcomes we want to achieve for everyone in New Zealand over time.
Our roles—how we deliver
Being effective and efficient - This means doing what we do in the best ways for the best results and is what most of our people focus on every day.
Active stewardship - This is about actively making sure what we’re responsible for is fit for purpose today and tomorrow.
Making a broader contribution - We will work across the public service to deliver more for New Zealand.
