Service Delivery

The Service Delivery group works together to make a difference for New Zealanders. Whether that’s helping someone get sorted financially so they can study, supporting someone into work, ensuring support is there for someone who can’t work, helping one of our seniors by granting their entitlement to New Zealand Superannuation, or giving New Zealanders confidence that the system they fund is being used by people in genuine need.

Viv Rickard is the Deputy Chief Executive Service Delivery

Service Delivery is made up of the following groups:

Work and Income

Work and Income provides employment services and income support throughout New Zealand. They offer a single point of contact for New Zealanders needing work-search support, income support and in-work support. They also assess people’s need for social housing. Work and Income is divided into a network of 11 regions, each headed by a Regional Commissioner.
