Funding

Whatever your support needs, there could be a funding source there to support you. From subsidies, to grants and scholarships or funded programmes.


Here you can find different kinds of financial support including allowances and benefits from organisations like Work and Income, Disability Support Services, and ACC, as well as grants and scholarships. You’ll find information about banking (including how banks are making banking more accessible for disabled customers), and where you can get budgeting advice so you can keep on top of your finances.

We cover funding options for costs associated with your home, including making modifications to your home to make it more accessible and supported living. We’ve also got advice about renting, buying, and building a home, as well as moving.

We explain the process for getting funding for disability equipment, as well as provide guides to buying certain types of equipment to help make the decision-making process easier for you. You can search our disability equipment supplier directory to find the right equipment for you.

You can find plenty of information about transport options for our disabled community here too, including financial support for health and disability travel costs, accessible public transport, subsidised taxi services, getting your own vehicle modified, and more.
