Pacific Settlement Support Services

Are you new to New Zealand, or do you know someone who has recently arrived from the Pacific Islands and needs support settling into Kiwi life?

Or perhaps you’re someone who already helps family, friends or your community support new Pacific migrants.

Come along to our Induction Workshop next week held for our new migrant clients. Come meet our team to see how we can help.

The more of us out there supporting our newest Kiwis to settle well, the better!
