CAB Awareness Week!
It’s CAB Awareness Week! This is a time for putting a spotlight on CAB to celebrate our mahi and highlight to the community the help and services we offer.
This year’s theme is ‘Awhi mai, awhi atu – empowered together’. It reflects the role of the CAB as a place where the community comes together in the spirit of receiving and giving support and being empowered together.
This idea of supporting and empowering people, both individually and collectively, is something we know lots about at CAB. It reflects our organisation’s aims – to empower individuals and whānau through our service of advice and information and to empower communities by advocating for fairer laws and policies based on what we learn from our clients.
If you need help and don’t know who to ask, or if you would like to give back to the community through volunteering with an organisation that helps people individually and collectively, CAB could be the place for you.
Get in touch with us on 0800 367 222, visit us at 7 Aylesbury Street, Pakuranga, or send us a message via cab.org.nz.

Kōnae: Find Your Records
If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.
Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.
The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.
Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.
The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.
If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab
Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
