23.01.2022 As of today, the entire Ashfords team will be working 100% remotely while our office at Dingley is temporarily closed. This change is in line with new restrictions imposed by the Victorian Government announcing Stage 4 lockdown.

At each stage of lockdown we've modified our approach to how we work, in line with recommendations, and we contin...ue to provide our full suite of professional services to our clients through working remotely. So please rest assured, while things may have changed a little, Ashfords is still operating and we are here for you! All staff are still contactable by email and phone. Please do not drop any documentation at the office during this time.

03.01.2022 R U OK? Day 2020 is perhaps the most important one yet. Social interaction has been extremely limited for the best part of 6 months here in Victoria. Those that are still in a job, are mostly working from home, with restrictions on interacting with their colleagues.... Limitations on exercise, sunlight, and fresh air are also prevalent in today's extraordinary environment. All of these things are contributing to much higher rates of anxiety, depression and suicide. Making it more important than ever to reach out to your friends, family, and colleagues. Please see the following link for how to approach a potentially difficult conversation - https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask
