Veterans' Affairs Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Forum

Online registrations for our Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Forum close at 5pm Friday 24 March. However, you don’t have to register online, you can just turn up (although we prefer that you register as this gives us an indication as to who is coming) and we’d love to see you there.

Our Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland forum is an opportunity for current and former service personnel to meet with Veterans' Affairs and other support organisations to discuss entitlements and other support for them and for their family and whānau.

It is free to attend for you and your whānau.

Whether you are still serving, or have just left service, and even if you are feeling OK, and don’t require support, come along and learn what is available for you and your family and whānau.

This forum is being held in the Sir Noel Robinson Conference Centre at the Due Drop Event Centre in Manukau. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Remember your family and whānau are welcome to come along with you, it is free from them to attend, but they still need register.
