Important Update to NZ FamilyBoost

The FamilyBoost changes announced by the Government in July have received Royal Assent and are now law.

These changes apply from the July-September 2025 quarter. Families can claim from 1 October.

There are 3 key changes:

  1. The threshold for household income is now $57,286 each quarter
  2. The amount that an eligible family can claim has increased to 40% of early childhood education costs, or a maximum of $1,560 each quarter
  3. The abatement rate is now 7% for household income over $35,000 each quarter.

These changes are designed to help ease the cost of early childhood education for families across New Zealand.
