Choice and control
How you choose to engage with disability, be assessed, get support and access funding is your choice. Find out how you can take control of your disability journey.
Enabling Good Lives Principles are the foundation of disability in New Zealand and say that you should have choice and control over your disability journey. This means different things for different people. Whether that’s dipping a toe in to understand what getting assessed looks like, finding tools to quietly manage support, finding someone to chat to about it, or jumping in for full supports.
The Firstport team are working every day with our community to find more ways to give you choice and control. With us, not for us.
