Disability funding changes

On 18 March 2024, Whaikaha announced changes to the Purchasing Rules and Equipment Modification Service (EMS). These changes came into place immediately, restricting the use of funding in a way that impacts on disabled people, their family, whānau, supporters and carers. DPA is working with other organisations, calling for the reverse of these changes. Here, we document the work we are doing.
