Who are we ?

The Interregional Body for Family Benefits (ORINT) was created in light of the regionalization of family benefits in Belgium, as of 1 January 2019, through the cooperation agreement of 30 May 2018 between the 4 entities: the Flemish Community, the Walloon Region, the Joint Community Commission (Brussels) and the German-speaking Community.

ORINT has taken the form of a NPO (non-profit organisation)​

The current members of the NPO are:

• Iriscare, a public interest organisation with its registered office at Rue Belliard 71/2,
  1040 Brussels;
• L’Agence pour une Vie de Qualité (the Agency for a Quality Life in English), named AViQ, a public interest organisation, with its registered office at Rue de la Rivelaine 21, 6061 Charleroi;
• The Ministry of the German-speaking Community, an administrative authority, with its registered office at Gospertstraße 1, 4700 Eupen.

What we do
