Call us - we are here to listen Bay of Plenty
In the past 12 months we have answered nearly 3,500 calls. We take calls covering a wide range of issues: relationship problems, loneliness, addiction, health and mental problems.
Call us on 0800 726 666.
We are a listening ear that can make all the difference between life and death. Our volunteers have been providing this invaluable free service to everyone who needs it since 1973. We receive calls across all the age groups – from teenagers to over 50-year-olds.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the Samaritans we would love to hear from you. Please register by email to Meg Sillay at rotorua.lifelink@xtra.co.nz. Full training is provided.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
