24 Hour Advice and Information Line

All Vale employees now have access to a 24-Hour Advice and Information Line, provided by Westfield Health.

Whatever the issue, support and advice is just a phone call away.

This service gives you confidential guidance on medical, legal, or domestic issues from qualified counsellors, legal advisors, and nurses.

From stress, bereavement or relationship advice to health and money worries, you’ll be able to talk to a qualified counsellor any time of the day or night.
