Need help? Ask us!
Daily life can sometimes bring us questions, issues and challenges that are tricky to deal with on our own. It’s good to have a place to go where you can get help with this stuff, where it won’t cost you anything, and the help is confidential and non-judgemental.
CAB is that place. We will awhi you (show support) with information and advice and connect you with any specialist services you may need. We will help you understand what your rights are and can help you with your next steps.
It doesn’t matter what your issue is – employment, renting, a relationship matter, an immigration issue, or a consumer problem – we’re here to help you.
You can contact us through our CAB freephone number 0800 367 222, pop in to see us at CAB New Plymouth (no appointment needed) or visit our website at cab.org.nz to kōrero (speak) with us online or email us.
We have a team of trained CAB volunteers delivering our service of information and advice to the public. This means when you come to us for help, you get to speak with a real person if you want to.
You don’t have to be a New Zealand citizen or resident to get help from us. We’re here for everyone.
No matter who you are; if you need help and don’t know who to ask – ask us!

I’m a bird that sadly cannot fly;

Who am I, representing you and me?

Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?

95.5% Yes, it's too expensive
-
3.8% No, it's reasonable
