Consultations

People with learning disabilities or autism are much more likely to experience mental distress than the general population. However, this is not reflected in the way related assessments, funding, supports, training, and services are provided in Aotearoa New Zealand.

If you or a family member has a rare disorder, please fill out this survey. The purpose of this survey is to collect much-needed data on what it means to live with a rare disorder in New Zealand in 2021.

Ahead of the development of the Waiariki Disability Action Plan, the Bay of Plenty and Lakes DHBs want to hear directly from disabled people - and those who care for or provide services to them - about their experience of services and supports currently offered by the DHBs.

Imagine Better and Disability Responsiveness New Zealand are working with the 3 District Health Boards of Wellington, Wairarapa and Hutt Valley (3DHB) to do a project that looks at disabled people’s experiences of accessing local healthcare services within the 3DHB region.

Our Health and Disability system has a vision: to enable all New Zealanders to maximise their own health and independence. Central to that is ensuring a strong pipeline of future leaders and meaningful representation of Māori, Pacific, Disabled and Rural communities in leadership roles.
