Work safe - Play safe - Live safe

Wellbeing

Having good wellbeing means we have the tools, support and environments we need to be who we are and to build and sustain lives worth living. We believe that engagement at work affects our wellbeing significantly, from maintaining a good work/life balance, having long term goals in place, to having colleagues you can have tough conversations with.

Our Wellbeing Committee enjoy running initiatives and events such as our Quiz Nights and our Annual Millbrook Olympics. 

If you would like to meet with our team for Career Coaching, please email us at people.culture@millbrook.co.nz.

Immigration NZ announced some major changes for AEWV's on 7th April. We in the P&C Team are not licensed Immigration Advisors, therefore whilst we can help you navigate the website and updates, we are not able to give advice. Please also take personal responsibility of viewing these policy changes, and as always, reach out to a licensed Immigration Advisor to seek further advice or clarification of what this could mean for you.
