Local Information

Settling into a new country is not always easy. The biggest challenge can be to know where to find all the information you need to settle well.

A Settlement Support Coordinator can help you access local information and services for everything you need to settle - from opening a bank account to finding a place to live, using public transport, finding a doctor, choosing schools for your children and much more.

A great starting point is our, Palmerston North & District New Settler’s Guide, which is full of information to help you settle into your new community. You can get a free copy from Settlement Support, or download it here (.PDF 920kb).

You can contact Settlement Support for any other information or assistance you need. Our service is free for newcomers, and it’s completely confidential.
