Where can I find information about daily life in New Zealand?

It can take a while for you and your family to get used to your new community. It can be a challenge knowing where to find the information you took for granted in your own country.

You will need to find out about housing, jobs and training, schools, health services, tax, rubbish collections, public transport, child care and local activities where you can make new friends. 

Settlement Support can help. Settlement Support NZ agencies around the country are your first point of contact for information, services and advice to help you settle.
