Annual Report | Pūrongo ā-Tau 2024

This Annual Report explains how we helped New Zealanders in the year from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. The Annual Report is one of the key means by which the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) fulfils its accountability to Parliament and the public, and compliance with the reporting requirements set out in the Public Finance Act 1989.

This Annual Report includes our service performance results and full financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

This Annual Report also contains the Annual Report of Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People as a departmental agency of MSD. It is included in this document for the purposes of presentation to Parliament and publication.
