Work and Income may be able to help if you or someone you work with have been affected by COVID-19. This may include the COVID-19 Wage Subsidy, Income Relief Payment, Leave Support Scheme, Early Learning childcare and OSCAR services. Other types of support are also available.
Health information
It is essential that everyone is following the Ministry of Health’s advice in response to COVID-19. Their website provides comprehensive and up to date information on how individuals and organisations can appropriately prepare and respond to developments in a nationally consistent way.

Keeping you updated

The Government’s COVID-19 website is constantly being updated with information on New Zealand’s response to the pandemic and is the first place to go for information you may need.
