Healthy, dynamic and connected refugee background families participating in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Who we are

The Canterbury Refugee Resettlement and Resources Centre (CRRRC) was founded in Christchurch as an incorporated society under the New Zealand law in 2008. The CRRRC was established to provide a forum for former refugee groups, with a remit to advance a development agenda that was consistent with refugee priorities and the objectives of the resettlement agenda outlined by Immigration New Zealand. We are accredited Level 3 Social Sector Accreditation Standard.

What we do

The Canterbury Refugee Resettlement and Resources Centre advocates on behalf of the refugee communities resettled in the Canterbury area. As the first contact point for agencies aiming to liaise with the wider community or individuals of refugee background, we work to disseminate relevant information, community skills, and knowledge through a grassroots approach to consultative communication.
