Urgent requests

Contact us on 0800 932 463 or 09 430 4200 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) if you have an urgent issue.
We will respond to issues reported online outside of our business hours (8:00am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday) on the next working day.

How we can help

Please let us know if you believe a food, beauty therapy, tattooing or piercing business is dirty or has made you ill, and we will investigate.
We will also investigate unsanitary properties such as:
  • smelly compost heap that attracts flies and rats to an area
  • rubbish which is not put out for collection
  • shellfish, including kina, left on the ground to rot rather than being buried.

Report an issue or make an enquiry

We try to resolve all issues within 15 working days, though complex queries may take longer to address.
