The New Zealand Settlement Strategy

NZ StrategyThe New Zealand Settlement Strategy defines seven goals for successful settlement - that newcomers to New Zealand;

  1. feel welcomed and connected
  2. get the right job and contribute to future prosperity
  3. speak and understand New Zealand English
  4. know how to access information and services
  5. feel proud and confident
  6. feel safe
  7. understand and contribute to New Zealand society.

This strategy has been implemented through the Settlement National Action Plan, which specifies key outcomes and responsibilities for their delivery.
