In 2004, the New Zealand Government set out to establish a national telecommunications relay service for the Deaf, hard of hearing, Deafblind, and people with speech communication difficulties of New Zealand. Such a service enables people in these communities to keep in touch by phone independently, without needing the assistance of friends or family.

The service is currently provided by Concentrix, a leading global provider of CX solutions and Technology, based in Auckland. Our New Zealand Relay contact centre operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

New Zealand Relay employs a combination of video interpreters who interpret between NZSL and English, and Relay Assistants who work rostered shifts to ensure our services are staffed at their operating times; plus support staff.

We offer a range of services to help each of the communities we support.
