Citizens Advice Bureau - NZ
Hi there
I am an ex-SA, now a citizen of NZ and I am the manager for the Citizens Advice Bureau in Mangere (Auckland South - Counties Manukau Region).
I thought I would ask if we could be of assistance to any newcomers or current SA/NZers.
The citizens advice bureaux have trained staff in all matters consumer, govt, and health, welfare, etc fields. We are a source of help, advice, and JP services throughout NZ. If we don't have an immediate answer (highly unlikely) we are committed to find the answers for you and respond ASAP.
We are all fully trained and attend courses run by the various Govt, Local Govt, and Consumer watchdogs, we are also advocates, and able to assist with translating services, and even act as a Fax, Phone and email centre for our clients. We handle photocopies, laminations and give help on projects and in personal problems.
Please let your readers know we are just a phone call away and will always do our best to help.
Our hours are Mon - Fri 9am to 4pm and our Mangere Bureaux number is (09) (Auckland) 275 6885 or we can be contacted on cab.Mangere@xtra.co.nz.
My personal contact numbers at work are: (09) Auckland 275 9217 or pkoekemo@manukau.govt.nz should someone have a problem that they would prefer to speak to me directly about.
Thanks so very much, for letting me tell you about our service, we are proud of being a part of the Manukau City Councils New Settler's Policy and are actively helping new settlers from whatever country they come, to settle and feel at home in Counties Manukau. We call it the "Friendly County!" and it is.
Regards
Patricia Koekemoer
