For example: ensuring legislative settings remain fit for purpose in the context of evolving technology and broader social change.
The two Income Support teams are responsible for producing policy advice on a range of issues concerning payments in the welfare system. The teams' focus is on ensuring the financial assistance provided by MSD is effective and fit-for-purpose. This includes considering the adequacy of payments and impacts on poverty and inequality, the impacts on financial incentives to work, the design and delivery of payments and the interactions of these payments with other systems.
The Welfare System and Income Support Policy Group is part of a busy Policy Branch. The branch has a supportive team environment where people are focused on delivering high quality policy advice. We work hard to ensure policy settings reflect the diverse needs of New Zealanders while maintaining a strong focus on staff wellbeing and personal work/life balance.
