Welcome to Refugee Services

Kia ora, Hello!

Refugee Services is Aotearoa-New Zealand's principal refugee resettlement agency (formerly known as RMS Refugee Resettlement).

We are a not-for-profit, non-government organisation committed to supporting the successful resettlement of former refugees within a welcoming and inclusive society.

Since our beginnings in 1976, our staff and volunteers have assisted more than 40,000 refugees to settle and build new futures here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Former refugees can now be found in every walk of life, making a wonderful contribution to the social, cultural and economic fabric of our increasingly multicultural society.

Our Vision

Refugees achieving their potential and contributing within an inclusive society
