Service & Resource Directory
WAVES is not a direct service provider. We are not able to provide support to those experiencing family violence. If you are looking for family violence support, here you will find a brief list of some of the service providers in West Auckland, as well as a list of national helplines.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 111 (if it is unsafe to speak, press 55).
