New Start is a part-time course and as such you will not be eligible for a student loan or allowance from Studylink.
Once you complete New Start you can apply to Studylink if you intend to enrol and study at The University of Auckland.
StudyLink administers all loans and allowances. Make sure you apply early to avoid any delays with your enrolment.
