An update on our business continuity & response to COVID-19

Drake Medox New Zealand are monitoring the global COVID-19 situation and are working through what that means for our business. The health and safety of our employees, as well as our clients and candidates is of the utmost importance to us, so we need to ensure that precautionary measures are taken.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have cold or flu-like symptoms, please DO NOT COME TO WORK. Advise your Drake Medox Consultant and contact your medical centre or Healthline on 0800 611 116. Please also advise your Drake Medox Consultant of the outcome from your call.
