Why the change?
The Kaumaatua Grant is an important investment that Waikato-Tainui makes every year. We have over 19,000 kaumaatua who are eligible for the Grant.
The change in approach ensures our investment is sustainable, and also ensures we provide some support to all kaumaatua aged 60 and over.
Remember if you're 60 or over and registered with us, you're eligible to apply.
We are more than happy to help you with your application, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any support. You can contact us on 0800 824 684 or pop into our office, 2 Bryce Street, Hamilton from the 1st of April. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 4:30pm.
