Accommodation Supplement

Overview

Help with some rent, board or home ownership costs.

Eligibility points to check

Check minimum housing costs, location, household income, cash assets, age and residency. Not available for rent in public housing.

How to proceed

Follow the official page to MyMSD or contact Work and Income. Prepare identity and supporting documents.

Before you apply

Have identity and residence details, income or asset information, and any relevant medical, tenancy, care or study evidence ready. The official application page decides the exact documents required.

Key amounts and dates to confirm

• Payment amount, income or asset limits
• When payments normally start and whether backdating is possible
• When support ends and whether renewal or updates are required
• Whether it can be combined with other support and whether repayment applies

These figures and dates depend on your circumstances and policy changes; iKoru does not estimate them.
