Visionwest acknowledges that Budget 2026 arrives in a constrained fiscal environment.  There are small gains in some areas; however, these sit alongside policy changes that are likely to increase pressure on households already under strain.

Visionwest Budget Summary Report 2026

Visionwest Waka Whakakitenga is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest community, health and social service organisations. We work across housing, disability support, home and community health services, food security, mental health, financial mentoring and social support. We carry both the evidence and the lived experience of the whānau we walk alongside. We share this analysis because the sector is stronger when we think and advocate together, and because the whānau voice deserves to be at the centre of how we understand what this Budget means.
