Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

The chief executive can give money to community services if they want to. You should know that the Minister can give the chief executive directions on how to do this. The chief executive can decide how much money to give and when to give it.

The chief executive can also say what conditions the community service must follow to get the money. This can include paying the money back or giving something as security to make sure it gets paid back.

The chief executive gets to decide what these conditions are, and they can be different for different community services.
