Do you know what your rights are at work? How about your rights to do with renting or owning a home? If you buy something that’s faulty do you know what your options are? This CAB Awareness Week from 8-14 April you’re being invited to Discover Your Rights – Tūhuratia ō motika!

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.

A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.

The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.

The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.

We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.

We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

Have you spotted Hollywood superstar Harrison Ford who has swapped the Millennium Falcon for Air New Zealand cattle class during a low-profile visit to Queenstown?
.
Ford, 76, his actress wife Calista Flockhart and their son Liam Flockhart were on Sunday evening enjoying hospitality in Air New Zealand's Koru lounge in Queenstown before boarding a flight to Auckland.

There were no special privileges for the man famous for his roles as Han Solo in Star Wars and as Indiana Jones. He also played Rick Deckard in the sci-fi blockbuster Bladerunner and its sequel, and lead roles in action films Air Force One, Patriot Games and The Fugitive.
.
Let us know if you spotted him. May the force be with you.
"Patience you must have my young..." but not with booking a consultation.

Today we're celebrating World Health Day and this year we're trying to spread the message of making universal health coverage possible for all!

Universal health coverage simply means that all people have access to the quality health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.

It's a disturbing fact that at least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need.

Quality health care is good for our health, good for economies and good for society. Let’s call on world leaders to make health for all a reality!
