Citizens Advice Marlborough
Despite how much information is available in the online world, and regardless of our online skills and access, sometimes we just need a real person we can speak with to help us work through the questions, issues or challenges we’re facing.
The Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is somewhere people can go to get real support from a real person – support that is free, confidential, and non-judgemental.
Our volunteers deliver our service of information and advice to the public, and they receive great training to be able to do this. They will listen to you and tautoko (support) you with the information you need to help you understand your rights and options and to figure out your next steps. They can connect you with the specialist services you may need.
Whether the issue you’re facing is about renting, employment, a relationship matter, an immigration issue or a consumer problem – whatever it might be – we’re here to support you. Come talk to us!
You don’t have to be a New Zealand citizen or resident to receive our assistance. We’re here for everyone.
No matter who you are; if you need support and don’t know who to ask – ask us!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
56.9% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
