The CAB is a champion of people’s rights, working to solve the underlying causes of the problems they face. We think it is important that everyone in New Zealand can participate in their community and access the services they need. We think it is important that people who have less power in a situation are not exploited.

Our service provides us with unique information about the issues affecting people in communities nationwide. Every time a person seeks the CAB’s help, we record what they sought help about and what we did in response.

We use the insights gained from these enquiries to show when government policies and laws, or the implementation of these, are having a negative impact on people throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, and we argue for positive social change.

Our ability to speak out about the issues affecting people in New Zealand from the evidence of our client enquiries ensures we have a solid foundation for our social policy work.

Confidentiality is a core principle for the CAB service so we always make sure when telling stories from our clients’ experiences that the individuals involved will not be identified. We do this by removing identifying information and summarising or paraphrasing the client’s situation.

The key issues we work on include:
