Being a parent at a young age comes with big responsibilities, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our Young Parent Payment support is here for 16–19-year-old NZ citizens or residents living in Manukau, Ōtāhuhu or Papatoetoe. We provide financial help and one-on-one guidance so you can stay focused on your goals, build a strong future for you and your pēpi, and walk your journey with confidence, purpose and support.
