Superu NZ

We are the Social Policy Evaluation and Research Unit, or Superu for short. 

Our purpose is to increase the use of evidence by people across the social sector so they can make better decisions - about funding, policies or services - to improve the lives of New Zealand families and whanau.

You may have known us in the past as the Families Commission. We are an autonomous Crown entity established under the Families Commission Act (2003). We report to the Minister for Social Development.
