To help address equity issues in the payments that caregivers receive, the bill establishes, in clause 6, a holiday and a birthday allowance for caregivers receiving the orphans benefit or the unsupported child's benefit. These allowances will support tamariki to celebrate and enjoy the significant events in their lives. They'll also help caregivers to provide the tamariki in their care with the same experiences as other tamariki throughout Aotearoa.
