2. The Workforce team have been working hard behind the scenes to plan the first Bledisloe House Wellbeing Day on Thursday 19th May! The day will be for all staff and an opportunity to take some timeout to look after ourselves during that day. If you have any particular skills or ideas or props/equipment and want to contribute, for example, massage/yoga/meditation experience; Please pop by the People, Culture and Wellbeing team to discuss further!

3. Shout out to The Fono and their Super-vaxxers delivering the good in West Auckland! Peleiupu Tautua and Toakase Taufa have delivered close to 20,000 Covid-19 doses between them since the roll-out began last year. Ka pai to our amazing kaimahi and all the work they to in our communities to support whanau!
