Te tautoko mā ngā whānau Support for families

If you care for a dependent child, you may qualify for Working for Families payments, including Best Start. We want to make claiming your entitlement as quick and easy as possible.

Child support is money paid by parents who do not live with their children, or who share care with someone else.

If you take time off work to start caring for a new baby or child under 6, you may qualify for paid parental leave.

FamilyBoost is a childcare payment to help eligible households pay for the cost of early childhood education (ECE).
