Beneficiary Advocacy and Information Service Charitable Trust.

Purpose: To provide quality information and independent advocacy for beneficiaries, low-income families, and those marginalised in our community. Our free financial advocacy service provides support, information and education for beneficiaries, low-income families and individuals within our community. These groups in our community struggle to understand and cope with the processes for obtaining their financial entitlements through WINZ and IRD and do not know what other support may be available for them in the community. Our advocacy support work for clients includes working collaboratively across a wide range of local support agencies. BAIS works with government entities such as IRD, WINZ and local and central government policy builders to ensure clients have the resources available to them from their community to deal with all issues. These issues may go beyond entitlements and can deeply affect their well-being such as safety in the home, child poverty, housing, mental health and disability and unemployment.
