An upgrade to the Stratford Work and Income Service Centre on Miranda St means it is closed to the public until the middle of July.
Work is also due to begin at the Hāwera Work and Income Service Centre later this month.
At each site, the changes will see a more welcoming office, clients will have more privacy when they talk with a case manager and there will be added security for clients, visitors and staff, says Taranaki King Country Whanganui MSD regional commissioner Gloria Campbell
She says the changes have been rolled out in other parts of the country, including in Waitara and Taihape.
"At these two sites, staff are working in different ways and we are pleased with the increased flexibility and freshening up of our centres. It's great to see this investment in the regions."
