Need phone support?

As we age, we may find ourselves facing legal and financial challenges that can be overwhelming to navigate alone. Fortunately, there are a range of experts and advisors in New Zealand to help – whether you’re looking for legal assistance, financial advice or an advocacy service to speak up for you.

We may face particularly complex legal and financial issues that require specialist expert and advice – from buying into a retirement village and paying for residential care, to end of life planning. Having trusted advisors around you is key to ensuring your rights are protected and your wishes are acted upon.

Maybe you need advice about a particular issue? Or perhaps you’re wanting to understand your rights? There are a range of advocacy services and helplines staffed by knowledgeable and compassionate professionals that can be accessed over the phone for free – whether you’re needing advice on a health matter, want to make a complaint about a service you’re receiving or just need to talk to someone.

If you think you need some extra help, your NASC (Needs Assessment and Service Coordination) team is your first port of call – find your local NASC team.
