Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission

The Retirement Commission was established under the Retirement Income Act, 1993. It is an independent, impartial provider of factual information on retirement income issues and trends.

Their mission is, through education and information, to assist New Zealanders to get their personal finances sorted throughout life, so they have an adequate and equitable amount of income in retirement.

The Commission has two key roles: - to motivate New Zealanders to get sorted on money matters and to make adequate financial provision for their retirement - to research and monitor trends in matters relating to retirement income.
