Ā mātou huanga Our outcomes

He aha tā matou e whai nei

What we want to achieve

We seek to achieve three outcomes in order to deliver to our purpose.

  • New Zealanders get the support they require
    We provide New Zealanders with all the services and support they are entitled to and ensure they are confident they will get the financial and other support they need, when they need it.
  • New Zealanders are resilient and live in inclusive and supportive communities
    We recognise the diversity of the people, whānau and families, and communities we serve, and we are committed to improving their wellbeing. We are improving New Zealanders’ access to tools, skills and resources, including financial literacy, to help them to respond better to the challenges in their lives. We support communities to be inclusive, supportive and free from violence. We want people who have experienced harm, or do not feel safe, to know that help is available and to understand where they can get it.
  • New Zealanders participate positively in society and reach their potential
    We want to improve people’s readiness for, and access to, employment while recognising that people also participate through volunteering or caring for whānau and families. We engage with people, families, whānau and communities to understand their aspirations and what is important to them, including their situation, culture and values. We help to connect people with opportunities to realise their goals, reach their potential and grow, and participate positively in society.

Achieving these outcomes will take connection, collaboration and effort between the wider social sector, other government agencies, non-government organisations, hapū, iwi, employers, advisory and industry groups, communities, whānau and families.
