2. Social Investment and Data Sharing with Stats NZ (IDI) 

Some of our work is funded through Social Investment Outcomes Contracts. These contracts support evidence-based decision-making by evaluating what services work best for different people and communities. 

What data we collect and share 

To support this work, we share de-identified data with Stats NZ’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) for research purposes. 

The data we may provide includes: 

  • Unique identifiers (e.g., NSN, NHI, SWIN) — for matching purposes only 
  • Personal details (e.g., name, date of birth, gender) — only if no unique identifier is available 
  • Service start date 
  • Service interaction details: date, time, type of activity, and communication channel 

How your data is protected 

  • All data is de-identified before research use 
  • Data is held securely in the IDI and accessed only by approved researchers under strict conditions 
  • You will not be individually identified in any analysis or published reports 

Your rights 

You can: 

  • Request a copy of any data we’ve submitted to the IDI about you 
  • Ask for corrections if the information is inaccurate
