Please note, this is a guide and shows how MSD can help a person or whānau. Once the application form is submitted, MSD will be able to work out the exact financial assistance they will receive. This service is only available to New Zealand citizens and residents.

Answer a few questions. At the end, the form will tell you the payments you might be able to get. It won’t take long, around 5 minutes.

The more info you can give, the more accurate the results will be. No answers will be kept.

If you have a partner they should complete the guide too. What you get might be different for each of you.

Please note this is a guide only. If you want to go ahead and apply, please go to MyMSD ?
