Our services
The new Wairoa Community Link connects you to a wide range of social service and support agencies across the government and non-government sectors. Agencies represent health, education, housing, advocacy and counselling and help through Work and Income. Just about everything you and your family need is now provided from the one location so you only need to tell your story once.
A local management group made up of government and non government agency representatives will ensure that the community is involved in determining the range of programmes and services the Wairoa Community Link provides to best meet the needs of Wairoa.
