The Office for Seniors, located within the Ministry of Social Development, is the primary advisor to the Government on issues affecting older people. With the vision of older New Zealanders leading valued, connected, and fulfilling lives, the Office for Seniors plays a vital role in addressing the implications of New Zealand's ageing population. As our population of seniors is expected to reach 1.2 million by 2034, the Office for Seniors focuses on areas such as housing, employment, health, financial capability, and social issues.

Through our work, we provide information to seniors and advise the Government on the concerns and issues faced by older people. We strive to improve the lives of older individuals nationwide by promoting their well-being, raising awareness about elder abuse, and fostering age-friendly communities. Our initiatives also include digital literacy training for seniors, conducting ageing research, and implementing the Older Worker Employment Action Plan. We believe in creating opportunities for everyone to participate, contribute, and be valued as they age.
