Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

Universal health coverage simply means that all people have access to the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.
It's a disturbing fact that at least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need.
Quality health care is good for our health, good for economies and good for society. Let’s call on world leaders to make health for all a reality!

Hi neighbours, the Devonport rideshare costs are nearly 200 per cent over budget. Local board member Mike Sheehy told Stuff the trial was a failure and it was financially irresponsible for AT to continue. How do you feel about the trial? Have you used it yet?
