South Coast weather

Werner from Newtown

I know, most people like sunshine and blue skies. For me as a photographer, however, the strong winds and waves of the last few days are much more interesting.
Here a few images from along Princess Bay to Owhiro Bay, during the last 2 weeks

What’s an Oncology Host? They provide people with help and support to give them the most positive experience possible during their assessments, treatment and follow-up appointments.

In this role being compassionate and organised is key, but you will also have that extra ‘sixth sense’ and will know how to offer the right help at the right time; whether that’s a reassuring welcome, a well-timed cup of tea and chat, or helping clients connect with the right medical professional.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch! 💛

Poll: Should Kiwis be entitled to more sick leave?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

With Covid-19 still a very real risk, people who are unwell are told to stay home, and to keep any sickly kids home too - but what if you don't have any more sick leave owing?

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

Most Kiwis are entitled to five days of sick leave a year, but some - often those in lower paid jobs - get less.

New Zealand’s minimum sick leave allowance is one of the lowest in the OECD. In Australia they get 10 days, in most European countries it’s even more.
