With another COVID-19 lockdown imminent, we will be closing our offices from 5pm on 20th July, 2021 for the next seven days. Our team will be working from home and are still contactable.

If you'd like to speak with someone during this time and have the email address or mobile number of the person you're trying to contact, please feel free to use these.

We will leave a contact number on our phone system, so for any urgent matters, please dial the usual office phone number for more information on how to make contact. We can then arrange for the appropriate person to call you back. You can also email enquiries@dewings.com.au. 

We won't be conducting any face-to-face meetings during this time, however if you would like to arrange a video call, we'll do our best to make sure that all of your Dewings team members are available through your preferred method of video conferencing.

If you have documents or other items to drop off to us, please hold on to them for now unless they are urgent. If there is anything that urgently needs signing, we'll arrange for it to be electronically signed and will provide instructions on how to do this.

We don't expect there to be a huge disruption to our ability to serve our clients. Aside from working from home, we're doing our best to maintain business as usual.

We wish you all the very best for making it through the next week, and encourage you to stay safe.

We know that for those in business, this can all be a bit unsettling. If you need any help with your business and/or financial affairs, please don't hesitate to contact us.
