Information Advisory Services

Family and Community Funding part funds non-government agencies throughout New Zealand to provide information and advice to the public.

Services funded are generally located in communities where access to social and support services is poor or where there is a high need for support.

Funding is through agreements with agencies such as Citizens Advice Bureau, Lifeline, Pregnancy Help and Samaritans and for family support services provided by agencies that also provide services such as budget advice.

This fund is fully allocated.

Practice guidelines

Service specifications, which used to be part of the contract, have now been repackaged into easy to read guidelines. These are to be read alongside contracts as best practice ways to deliver each service.
