Hi, my name is Debbie. I am an ODP (Operating Department

I moved to New Zealand from
the UK. The process to come

The easiest part of the process was... all of it really! Accent were
m
so helpful every step of the way, including getting me an interview,
interview preparation, applying for registration and APC, applying for
Visa, looking for accommodation in NZ, etc. They always responded
to my emails promptly and even called me before and after to my
interview to wish me well and see how it went.
The most challenging part of the process was trying to pack all my
clothes and shoes into a 30kg luggage allowance!

It’s an amazing experience and will open up many more doors for me!!
