Celebrating 50 years of serving the community
From the first CAB in Auckland in 1970 to now having 82 CAB sites around NZ, we’ve been here and we’re going strong. We've helped thousands of individuals and whānau to solve problems and find a way forward. Watch our journey through 50 years of the Citizens Advice Bureau in Aotearoa New Zealand in this short video vimeo.com...
If you've got some well wishes to pass on to our CAB volunteers let us know, or maybe you have some ideas about what the future could look like for the CAB?
Join us in celebrating 50 years of the CAB serving the community, CAB Awareness Week, 8-14 March 2021.

Have your shopping habits changed?
Nelson retailers say sales have hit a worrying low, prompting them to cut staff numbers and tighten their belts. A street stall vendor told council that as well as the cost of living crisis, shopping patterns had changed, with more people making purchases online from places like Temu. Do you still head into town to buy essentials? Or are you hitting the internet?
Best medical alarms
Do you feel less steady on your feet than you used to be, or perhaps have already experienced a fall or seizure? If so, a medical alarm can help you regain your independence and confidence.
If you have a medical emergency or fall, just press the button on your personal medical alarm and speak to an operator through the built-in speaker. If you can’t speak, an ambulance will be dispatched immediately.
There are a number of different medical alarm options available in New Zealand, so you will be able to find one that suits your needs.

Update your Covid protection
It might not be making quite so many headlines these days, but unfortunately, Covid is still here. If you’re 65 or over, taking care of yourself is just as important as ever.
The good news is, keeping up to date with the Covid vaccine can help protect you from serious illness. It’s free and recommended for you and many others as long as you haven’t had the vaccine, or Covid, in the last 6 months.
To book your vaccination, go to BookMyVaccine.nz or talk to your healthcare provider.
