Community Link provides a gateway to free information and support from government agencies like Work and Income, local financial advisers and legal aid.
We also have a work station available in our reception for completing government forms online or applying for jobs or visas - just ask at the front desk.
These services are on offer thanks to the Heartlands Service, an MSD-funded service to help rural and isolated communities access government and non-government services.
We have a public computer available for people to use to access WINZ information and forms or to apply online. If you are having difficulty completing these forms or contacting WINZ, then we may be able to help. We can scan your documents and email them to WINZ.
We can print any Immigration forms you require.
If you have questions about your visa, Tatiana Elvery from Aspiring Immigration offers free clinics every month.

Inland Revenue Department (IRD)
IRD has a call centre which you can contact with queries on 0800 775 247.
Community Link can also email your query directly to the IRD who will then call you and arrange a face-to-face appointment at the next clinic if required.
