Helpful Disability Links, Support Services and Organisations

This page brings together useful disability information services, support organisations, government agencies and advocacy links for disabled people, families, whānau, carers and community leaders across New Zealand.

Finding the right information can be difficult, especially when support is spread across many different websites. This resource has been created as a simple starting point to help people find trusted organisations, disability services, rights information, health support, education support and community resources.
