Whaikaha
Ministry of Disabled People
Get to know the ministry putting in the mahi to advocate and support our disability community in Government
Whaikaha Ministry of Disabled People is our disability community’s representative in our New Zealand government.
They work with all the ministries, like Ministry of Education or Ministry of Internal Affairs, to make changes in the way that they work with our community. We might not realise how often we rely on different ministries in our daily lives. Going to school, paying taxes, walking down the street - all of these are impacted by the way our ministries work. This means there are millions of opportunities for Whaikaha to make living a good life easier in Aotearoa for more than one million disabled people.
Their focus is on removing those barriers that make life particularly hard for our community and bringing about change to the way New Zealand works.
The Ministry is still working on setting it’s ambitious goals - but keep an eye out and feel free to get in touch with the team.
