When you come to New Zealand as an international student, you can expect to receive a high standard of education, and to feel safe and well cared for while you live and study here. If you have a complaint, it is important that you go through the right steps. The international department is your first point of contact for any complaint you have, including any complaint about the agents your provider uses. The department has a complaints process in place for you to go through, and will tell you what that process is.
