benefits

move2nz is designed to provide you with access to all the information, contacts, support and assistance you need to make the best choices for you and your future. A community based on friendship and support to give you unbiased and real-life information to help you make your dreams a reality.

A large part of what we do is aimed at ensuring you settle successfully: integrating into New Zealand life happily with a network of friends in New Zealand you can call on whenever you need it.

move2nz is unique in offering this as a free service supported by great Kiwi businesses and government.

We offer support in two ways:

1. Before you set out - with unbiased and honest information and advice about what it will be like for you to live and work in New Zealand
2. Once you arrive - with support and assistance for all the members of the family through all of the ups and downs of settling in to a new home.
