Pre-Departure

On Arrival will assign a consultant to each employee – that person will remain their mentor and point of contact throughout their time in New Zealand.

We will pick up your new employee and their family, from the airport, and ensure that they get settled into their temporary accommodation, and confirm with them our schedule for their orientation tour.

Home Finding Services

On Arrival conducts research for appropriate properties to meet the new employee’s needs and budget.

We then organise a location and property inspection schedule

City & Suburb Orientation

This gives us a further opportunity to let them know about everything the city and its plethora of small businesses have to offer.

Spouse & Family Support

We support partners by introducing them to networking groups, childrens’ playgroups and activities, and associations that fit with their family and lifestyle needs.

On-Going Support

They can call us any time with questions and they will be invited to regular social events with other On Arrival expat clients. 

On Arrival continually strives to deliver ”Over and Above” expectations by ensuring that the smallest needs are addressed in every detail. As such your new employee and their family have a happy and rewarding experience.


Customised Support

We are happy to customise your resettlement services through our stand alone options:

Pre-Arrival Visit and Orientation

Would typically include lunch and a tour of the city and prospective areas to live, plus information on housing, schooling, healthcare, spouse employment and leisure activities as required.

Orientation Services

This gives us to focus on the areas of most interest from a lifestyle perspective, from which we further tailor our services on specific communities for the home and school search.

School Search Services

We determine if there are specific needs for their educational expectations, as this will have a significant bearing on where we elect to look for a home for the family, keeping in mind that the appropriate school may have zoning restrictions.

On Arrival Networking

Your On Arrival consultant will stay in touch throughout your employee’s stay in NZ.   

They can call us any time with questions or if they need contacts, and they will be invited to regular social events with other On Arrival expat clients. 

Settling in Assistance and Support

As many new employees will be renting accommodation before their containers arrive with their furniture, they may need to rent or purchase specific items for the interim period.

We will assist them with any furniture rental or purchase requirements.

Our wrap-around services focus on the family at the heart of the journey. Whether it is connecting with local people and services, or navigating the NZ way of life. Our corporate relocation company considers all aspects of the family’s needs.

Home Finding Services

We refine our home finding criteria and organise several properties for the client’s inspection. 

We then organise a location and property inspection schedule, accompany the client to view and inspect the selected properties.

Community Integration Support

We will take you on an orientation tour of your new community and will provide you with detailed guides on: 

Local Amenities

We provide specific support for shopping, doctor, dental, recreation, and other needs that can be taken for granted in their home city.

Transport options

New Zealand’s larger cities have well-developed public transport options, but services can be more limited in smaller centres.

Even if public transport can get you to and from work or school, you are still likely to need a car here.

Healthcare

People in New Zealand enjoy the benefits of a comprehensive and heavily government subsidised health system.

Public healthcare is free or low cost if you hold a work visa valid for two years or more, are a citizen, or a resident

Community Orientation

We introduce you to local amenities, council services, hospitals, medical and dental care, local shopping areas, public transport services, and recreation facilities.

Children’s Playgroups

Playgroups provide both play, social and learning opportunities for children as well as being an informal support network for parents.

On Arrival New Zealand Club

Our new and exciting social group offers you a wide range of entertainment, lifestyle and networking benefits.  Meet others who have adopted New Zealand as their home and share your experiences.

Are you ready to go?

Let us get you settled.

We continue to act as an information, support and referral service for all our clients by staying in touch with you to establish community networks and host social functions.

We focus on the needs of the spouse and family until they are totally self-sufficient.
