Consumer NZ

Founded in 1959, Consumer NZ is an independent, non-profit organisation that works to protect and inform New Zealand consumers. It tests products and services through independent laboratories, investigates issues affecting the public, and provides advice to help people understand and exercise their consumer rights.

Funded mainly through memberships, donations, and research partnerships, Consumer NZ remains proudly independent by not accepting advertising. Through research, surveys, advocacy, and campaigns, the organisation aims to ensure New Zealanders receive fair treatment, reliable information, and trustworthy recommendations when making purchasing decisions.
