The Veterans’ Affairs Approved Information Sharing Agreement (AISA)

The Veterans’ Affairs Approved Information Sharing Agreement (AISA) came into force on 6 June 2024.

This Agreement specifies which government agencies can exchange information and what can be exchanged. It does not allow a free exchange of any veteran information between government agencies and Veterans’ Affairs. It aims to improve services to veterans and their whānau. Many of the services, support, or entitlements to veterans and their family and whānau are based on current and historic factors in the veteran’s life. For example, if a veteran has a relationship change or has a child in education, the veteran’s (and maybe their family and whānau’s) entitlements may change.

If organisations can access up-to-date and correct information about veterans, they have the opportunity to improve existing support to a veteran and to make it easier to gain support from Veterans’ Affairs and other government agencies.
