How to access our Taumarunui service
Using our service is easy. We are contracted by the Ministry of
Social Development so there is no direct cost to the client.
Clients can be referred by another agency or can contact us
directly.
Before a client begins with us they will be able to ask
questions and we will tell them more about the service.
We will need to be provided with some basic information about
the client so we can complete the referral process. We will then
work with the client to support them towards achieving their
employment goals.
