Good Shepherd’s Christmas close-down period

Our services will be closed for the holiday season. Our last day for 2024 is Friday, 20 December, and we’ll reopen on Monday, 6 January 2025.

You’re welcome to submit applications or enquiries online during this time. We’ll make sure to get to your application and/or enquiry as soon as possible when we’re back in the new year.

We’re not a crisis service. If you need urgent support, we recommend reaching out to these services for help:

  • For financial assistance please contact Work and Income on 0800 559 009
  • For financial resources and tools visit https://sorted.org.nz/ 
  • For family violence support please call 0800 733 843
  • For Drive insurance clients please contact Vero on 0800 374 830.

Due to high demand, bookings are now being scheduled from February onwards. We thank you for your understanding. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season and we look forward to connecting with you in 2025.
