Veterans' Affairs will be in Nelson on Friday 27 March to meet with veterans and their whanāu from across the Top of the South Island.
About this Event

The main Veterans’ forum will take place on Friday 27 March. 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 26 March between 7:00pm 9:00pm, at the same venue. Some of the organisations appearing the next day will also be there.

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.
Find out more about what a forum is here.
