CAB - Who are we?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

🧐 If you're wondering what we are all about, let's get into it.

👉 We are a free service - providing free, confidential, independent information and advice. Our skilled, trained volunteers all over the motu are ready to have a kōrero and will take the time to listen.

👉 We help people know and understand their rights and identify a pathway to addressing issues or problems they may face.

👉 Everyone is welcome at CAB. We are a universal service, which means we are here for everyone and anyone who needs our help, on any question or issue.

👉 We act as a voice for positive social change. When we see that policies or laws in Aotearoa are not working well for people, through the insights we gain from people we help, we call for change.

👉 We help connect people to the services, clubs, activities and support organisations they need. CAB has an awesome online community directory of over 35,000 local services and organisations.

🤙 You can contact us on freephone 0800 367 222, online at
cab.org.nz (send a message or kōrero with a volunteer on live chat), or visit one of our 80 CAB locations around the motu cab.org.nz/find-a-cab/

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
