New Zealand extended sexual abuse support funding until June 2026, averting cuts that would have disrupted survivor care.
New Zealand has extended contracts for sexual abuse support services, including HELP Auckland, until June 2026, delaying planned funding cuts of $1.7 million.
The extension prevents immediate disruptions to long-term counselling for survivors not covered by ACC, particularly those abused overseas or through digital means.
The Ministry of Social Development confirmed no further extensions beyond June 2026.
HELP Auckland welcomed the delay but criticized the last-minute notification, which disrupted planning and staff stability.
The organization continues to push for permanent funding, stressing that sustained support is vital to achieving national goals to end sexual violence.
