Navigating Financial Hardship: Support from the Ministry of Social Development

At Newtown Medical Centre, we understand that financial hardship can impact your well-being and health. If you find yourself struggling financially, there are resources available to help you and your family. The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) offers various forms of assistance through Work and Income, designed to provide support during tough times.

How Work and Income Can Help

Work and Income offers a range of financial support options to assist with living costs, housing, childcare, and more. To determine what help you may be eligible for, you can use the "Check What You Might Get" guide provided by the Ministry of Social Development.

Using the "Check What You Might Get" Guide

The guide is a straightforward tool that helps you identify potential payments and support you could receive based on your specific circumstances.

If you decide to proceed with applying for any of the recommended supports, you can do so through MyMSD. This online service allows you to manage your interactions with Work and Income, apply for support, and check the status of your applications.
