Welcome to Te Puna Mātauranga

This service is provided by the Chief Ombudsman of New Zealand as a source of learning for all those who need to understand the Official Information Act, LGOIMA, and the work of the Ombudsman.

The information and course material we provide is intended for general learning only and does not constitute advice or guidance. We recommend you get your own independent advice if needed.

If this is your first time here, click the Create new account button below.

You will be asked to set up a user name and password and to give us your email.

In addition, we ask about the organisation you work for, the type of role you are in and if you have any specific access or learning challenges that we should be aware of. This helps us understand both how people use this service, and how we can best support you.

The system will then send you an email to confirm that you have registered as a learner.

We monitor use of this service and suspend users after 12 months inactivity. Your record of learning will be completely erased after another 12 months of inactivity.
