What we can do for

Seniors / Ko ngā Kaumātua

We're here to support older people to live full and secure lives, help them maintain independence and enjoy opportunities to use their skills and knowledge in their communities.

How can we help?...

Office for Senior Citizens

We work actively with older people and central and local government agencies to promote, monitor and report on the New Zealand Positive Ageing Strategy, and develop policies and services that protect the rights and interests of older people.

 

Work and Income

We can help you with your retirement income needs - whether that’s New Zealand Superannuation, War Pensions or pensions from overseas. And if you’re still keen to work, we offer a range of employment services for seniors.

Family & Community Services

We can help you get the support you need from within your own community, including opportunities to contribute your valuable skills to New Zealand
families and individuals.

We also offer support through...

The SuperGold Card offers concessions and discounts to seniors from a wide range of business around New Zealand.

A programme tapping the skills of older people to provide one-on-one life and home skills mentoring to families and individuals in need.
