Budgeting Response To COVID-19

VisionWest’s Budgeting service is NOT considered to be an essential service. However, we are able to work with existing and new clients via telephone and email during the period of lockdown.

We assure you that the safety and support of whānau and staff remains our top priority during this time.

While our office is closed for face-to-face visits, we are continuing to provide appointments and support via phone sessions, email and text messages. Our service hours are Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 5pm.
