Veterans’ Affairs will be in Manukau on Friday 16 October to meet with veterans and their whanāu from across the Greater Auckland Region.

The main Veterans’ forum will take place on Friday 16 October at the Due Drop Event Centre. At this event you can, meet with staff from across Veterans’ Affairs and other veteran support and community organisations.

If you’re unable to make it on Friday, but would like to meet with Veterans’ Affairs staff we can catch-up the night before, Thursday 15 October between 7:00pm 9:00pm, at the same venue.

Both events are free to attend and is an opportunity for New Zealand veterans, their families and whānau to meet with staff from Veterans’ Affairs to discuss entitlements and other support options.

This event is for New Zealand veterans, whether they are still serving or have left service.

If you know of a veteran who might not be online or a bit out of touch with the support that might be available to them, please encourage them to come along too. We want to ensure all eligible veterans are receiving all the support they’re entitled to.
