New Zealand Companies Office (‘Search the Companies Register’ for ‘Dore’). There’s a brief ‘administrator’s report’ on that site which may be worth people who have paid Dore NZ reading.
Thanks to ‘Joesmum’ for this comment:
‘Dore Group Ltd NZ put itself into voluntary liquidation on 23rd March, 2009. My son started the Program barely 3 months ago. They insisted on $NZ5500 upfront and had recently had a nationwide recruitment campaign.’
Anyone know what’s going on? Once again there’s nothing on the Dore NZ website or on any other official Dore sites as far as I can see, though this happened a few weeks ago.

[...] Dore New Zealand goes into liquidation Jump to Comments Last year, the Dore – which claimed to be able to treat dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties – went into administration in the UK and Australia. Dore UK failed to refund all the money that families had spent on what was promoted – without a good evidence-base – as a miracle cure. Now, Dore New Zealand has gone into liquidation. [...]
Dore New Zealand goes into liquidation « Holford Watch: Patrick Holford, nutritionism and bad science - April 16, 2009 at 1:40 pm |
i was gven a defferd start to the program late last year due to health reasons i needed medical clearence and paid only for the assessment part. while i have not invested as musch as everyone else i was lucky my instinct to pay the full amount was wrong, even though financially i am not in as much debt as you guys who have started on the program it is still a concern as to whether we will recieve any of the money invested back.
good luck to those who have paid up and commenced the program hopefully it can still continue.

I am totally devastated by this, I honestly felt DORE was helping my son… $5500 invested and wasted.
Wendy Holgate - April 27, 2009 at 2:13 am |
I too am very disappointed. My son is nearing completion on the programme and we will have to guess as to whether he’s ready to stop or not. I feel particularly sorry for those who have started recently and whose hopes have been dashed – as well as their bank balances.
I was told that we would receive a communication about the liquidation by email or phone but have heard nothing. Has anyone else been contacted?
Julia - April 27, 2009 at 11:56 pm |
Dore has a history of being abysmal at communicating with its customers when this sort of thing happens.
Can I suggest you post on their forum at http://doretalk.com/ and ask them what’s happened?
As you are creditors they do have a duty to keep you informed. Good luck!

A group of private individuals have secured the Dore rights in New Zealand and have recommenced operations. Those who were on the programme have been offered the opportunity to complete the programme. [Contact details deleted by Duck]

Dore New Zealand has opened its doors once again. They are back in Auckland.
Jayesh Mistry - February 3, 2010 at 4:26 am |
They are back up and running. We had paid up front the initial $5,500 and were contacted and invited back on the programme. This time they have a fantastic website for their clients so you only have to visit every 3-4 months (great if you live outside Auckland). Clients can log on, pick up their exercises and mark themselves on how they did, as well as see their progress, keep diaries, etc. The information is all collated at the DORE Centre. So far so good. They have also re-opened in a more limited capacity in Christchurch.

I am considering putting my nearly 8yr old Dyslexic/ADHD child through the course, and wondering about the benefits of the course from people who have experienced it, as well as risks involved in the company crashing again. Any feedback greatly appreciated.
