What we do - Ā mātau mahi

Taku pou whakawhirinaki i ngā wā o te porotaitaka - My source of strength in moments of adversity.

We are a nationwide, but locally based, community organisation that provides free, confidential information and advice to anyone. We help people to know and understand their rights and obligations, and how to access services they need. We provide people with the confidence and support they need to take action. We use insights from our clients’ experiences to work for positive social change when policies and laws and/or their implementation are having a negative impact on people. Our volunteers are supported by a comprehensive knowledgebase and regular learning. You can get our help by:

▸ Visiting your local CAB located in Hancock Community House, 77-85 King St., Palmerston

North. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9 am – 4.30 pm (no appointment needed); ▸ Phoning your local CAB on 06 357 0647 or calling free on 0800 FOR CAB (0800 367 222); ▸ Emailing us on palmerstonnorth@cab.org.nz; ▸ Chatting with us online at www.cab.org.nz; ▸ Browsing our information about your rights and responsibilities at www.cab.org.nz; ▸ Searching our database www.cab.org.nz for information about local community organisations and up-to-date information about Covid-19 related issues.
