The Citizens Advice Bureau is celebrating 50 years of service in Aotearoa working for positive social change in an ever changing world. A nationwide, locally based community organisation with over 80 branches, providing free, confidential, independent information and advice.
The CAB helps people to know and understand their rights and responsibilities and find the community services they need. In a time of Covid-19, Citizens Advice Bureau staff and volunteers mobilised straight away and adapted to our way of delivering services. Further details were captured in a report Citizens Advice Bureau – Supporting people through Covid-19. www.cab.org.nz...
A people-centred service is more valued now than ever and is a service that the CAB is proud to deliver. In this age of uncertainty, we remain optimistic about the future – a future filled with change for good. This means countless hours of advice to the public, providing information on everything from housing and consumer rights to immigration and employment. This is a time to recognise the thousands of skilled CAB volunteers and staff who dedicate their time to providing free confidential advice and access to the rights and services people need.
“We are proud of the legacy the CAB has created and for the future it will forge,” says Linda Kaiou from CAB Otara. “We want to remind everyone that our service remains free, trustworthy and confidential – where people can pop in and visit, call us on the phone, or contact us via our website by using live chat or sending a message”, says Linda Kaiou. “We want to acknowledge our hard-working volunteers and staff,” and let them know we appreciate them on a daily basis. “Our volunteers are diverse, skilled, experienced and empathetic to any story or situation that comes our way.”
CAB volunteers are dedicated to giving back to their community and undertake an intensive training process that ensures they are ready for queries and issues, and provide options based on research. “We take the time to listen, aim to ensure that you get the information you need – whether it’s your rights in a particular situation or to find a specific service, we will find a way forward,” says Linda Kaiou.
“You can visit us at Shop 1&2, 46 Fair Mall, Otara Town Centre, Bairds Rd, Otara or call 09 274 6577 or 274 8327. We’re here to help.”

Hi Neighbours, Like many, Sir Ian Taylor learned only at the age of 68 about the Polynesian migrations across the Pacific Ocean. He hopes a new education website will inspire especially maori and pasifika kids they have innovation in their DNA. Did you know the stories? Read below:
At NumberWorks'nWords we create a learning environment that children love to come to.

A flight attendant who visited an Auckland supermarket has tested positive for Covid-19.
Fourteen other air crew are being contacted and asked to isolate and re-test, the Ministry of Health said.
It is not ruling out local transmission of the virus in Auckland, but says the risk to the public is low.
The woman who tested positive has been moved to Jet Park quarantine facility.
“The Public Health initial assessment is there is low risk to the public due to Auckland being at Alert Level 3 for the period in which this case was back in New Zealand and were either in isolation or at home for most of that time,” the ministry said in a Sunday evening release.
“There is currently one location of interest – the Auckland Airport Countdown on March 3 between 12.07pm and 1.22pm.”
“Anyone who was at the store at this time is asked to monitor their health for the next 10 days (until March 17)."
Contact tracers are also in the process of tracking down people who were at an unnamed clinic at the same time as the woman during a health appointment on an unspecified date.
“All those attending the same clinic at the same time are being identified and will be contacted and provided specific health advice.”
Genome sequencing results are expected on Tuesday.
The woman's three household family members were tested on Sunday, and they are all negative, the ministry said.
She returned to New Zealand from Japan on February 28, and returned a negative Covid-19 result then, the Health Ministry said.
She returned a subsequent positive test result on Sunday after a swab taken on Saturday as part of routine surveillance testing, the Ministry said.
People who were at the Auckland Airport Countdown on Wednesday between 12.07pm and 1.22pm are not being asked to isolate.
“If they feel unwell or develop symptoms, they should contact Healthline on 0800 358 5454, and get tested and stay at home until a negative test result is received.”
“Testing is available at six community testing centres (CTCs) throughout Auckland as well as at general practices and urgent care clinics.”
“There is currently good capacity in the testing system, and the CTCs in Otara (South Auckland) and Wiri (West Auckland) have additional staff available to meet any increase in demand.”
Testing locations are available on the Auckland Regional Public Health Service website.
The ministry said it would provide a further update on Monday.
