It can be accessed

  • from a mobile phone or laptop

MyKāingaOra is also available to view in six additional languages:

  • Te Reo Maori
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Samoan
  • Tongan
  • Hindi

To change to a different language, click the 'Languages' dropdown in the top right-hand corner of your home screen, and select your choice.
