Clear Point of Contact
For locating local information and services to newcomers who will be able to easily locate the logo of Settlement Support NZ and can access the free service for information and referral to services available to meet their settlement needs in a variety of ways, including websites, freephones, brochures, and face to face service
Orientation and Information Workshops/Seminars/Forums
These are held locally for newcomers and aimed at providing them with the necessary information and pathways to assist your settlement. Settlement Support NZ endeavours to discover what the needs of newcomers are, to better enable the initiative to meet those needs.

Information and Collaboration Workshops/Seminars/Meetings
Are arranged for information-sharing and increasing collaboration to best meet the needs of newcomers to the region. The local Settlement Support Co-ordinator endeavours to deliver a continuum of arising needs or situations according to the accumulated findings within the region to stakeholders within our locality.
Newsletters/Communications x Electronic Means or Mail
Are presented with updates, reports & features in a bi-monthly newsletter. Fliers are also dispatched to organisations, companies and individuals with details of upcoming information or orientation workshops/seminars/forums/meetings as they arise. This is the benefit of the networking resource.
Access to Interpreting and Multilingual Information Services
There are professionally trained interpreters registered with local ‘official’ interpreting services such as specialist areas of health, court work, and police work. The settlement co-ordinator can also link you to free phone-based information services in other languages.
A Link to Cultural Groups
The Settlement Support co-ordinator can put you in touch with other people who speak the same language, or who are from the same country. Clubs are a good way to meet people with similar interests and hobbies. Community and support groups are available for people concerned with a range of issues and are a good for social contact with others originally from outside of New Zealand. If you are interested in finding out more about living and working in the Waikato, please email or phone the Settlement Support Co-ordinator.
