Resources for your migrant staff
When people migrate to New Zealand they must learn a new culture and way of working. These resources will help them settle in and adapt to their new life.
Planning to move
We have a website that helps migrants to plan their move to New Zealand. NZ Ready assists new, and potential, migrants with the planning of their migration journey; from place of origin, through the move, to settling here.
Working and living in New Zealand
New Zealand Now is our main website for advice on working and living in New Zealand. There’s also lots of advice for migrants on settling here with their family, and all the things they’ll need to know about housing, schooling, healthcare, and recreation.
We also have a website that explains options for International students to work while in New Zealand to study.

Support in the workplace
