If you’re moving into new accommodation and are struggling to cover the cost of moving, you may be able to get help through Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ). Depending on your circumstances, assistance may cover costs such as van or truck hire, petrol, trailers, or professional moving services when you’re unable to manage the move yourself.
A WINZ moving quote is a written estimate from a moving company showing the expected cost of your move.
The quote provides a clear breakdown of the expected costs and moving services you require.
You can provide the quote to Work and Income as supporting evidence when applying for assistance with eligible moving costs.
A quote does not guarantee approval or payment. Work and Income will assess your circumstances and eligibility before making a decision.
