Cochlear Implant Petition

Kevin from Rolleston

We all tend to take our hearing for granted, that is until it deteriorates. For many Kiwis (and others around our world) a Cochlear Implant is the only option for hearing... your help is needed to ensure more Kiwi's have the opportunity to hear.

Take 1 minute to sign this online petition for funding... link below.

Thank you


In Summary: A lot of New Zealanders would benefit from having a cochlear – they need to be referred as soon as their hearing starts deteriorating. There is a lack of funding however the government would end up making more money back in tax as the recipient is more likely to be employed after a CI. Therefore they have potentially years of paying tax instead of claiming a benefit.

It is more successful in those that get the CI as soon as they lose their hearing.

Would be great if you could sign the petition for more funding

You can also support CI recipient, Lewis Williams petition calling on increased funding of cochlear implants for adults, by signing and sharing the following link:

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
