Please keep ED free for emergencies

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

Kenepuru Community, Wellington Regional, and Hutt Hospitals are currently experiencing higher volumes of patients – particularly in the region’s emergency departments.

Anyone presenting to ED will be assessed by a nurse on arrival, and will be prioritised for treatment based on their assessed level of clinical need. If you are assessed as not having an urgent need, you can expect to wait longer to see a clinician.

If you are unsure about whether you require urgent care, please call your GP or Healthline (0800 611 116) for advice. In an emergency, phone 111.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Kiwisaver Changes

Jo from Hutt Central

Has your accountant told you about recent changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates and how they may affect wages and payroll calculations?

These updates can have flow-on effects for both employers and employees, and understanding them early helps avoid surprises.
