Here you will find the latest news from the New Zealand disability sector and community.

We know that official announcements related to health and disability can sometimes be tricky to fully understand, so here we try to break down any big news that impacts our disability community. We like to use simple, plain language, so anyone can follow without having to ask Google what something means.

We also share opportunities for our disabled community to have their say in community consultations, whether it be consultations on government decisions, feedback for different disability organisations, or anything in between. The important thing is that our disabled community has its voice heard.
