Introduction

Residential Support Subsidy is the name given to payments made by the Ministry of Health for people with physical, sensory, intellectual, psychiatric disabilities (including drug and alcohol rehabilitation) or disabling chronic health conditions who are receiving residential support services.

Clients with age-related disabilities are not paid Residential Support Subsidy but may be able to receive a Residential Care Subsidy.

Residential Support Subsidy for all of New Zealand is administered by Senior Services - residential care.
