Seasons Greetings
9 December 2020
2020 will be a year that will be hard to forget. We acknowledge that it has been a very tough year for many of our subscribers and we hope that you will take the opportunity to find the time for rest and relaxation and look forward to a great 2021.
We will be taking some time off and will have limited availability over the Christmas New Year period. Normal hours will resume from Tues 5th January but you can still email us at business@mas.co.nz over the holiday period or call 0800 800 627 during usual business hours.
Our best wishes to you all for a safe, happy holiday season.
Fiona, Chris, and Shaun

If change cannot wait, communicate clearly, allow realistic time for feedback, and ensure appropriate support is available throughout any closure period. Before any change processes, please reach out to the HealthyPractice team – we have practical tools, templates and advice to help guide you through the process.
