If you’re looking for an accessible, inclusive, and disability-friendly venue or business to visit, check out our accessible places library. It is a great guide to the accessible features that business and venues have, so you can feel comfortable and confident visiting them. You can even search by keywords, region, category, and features to find an accessible place near you.

If you would like to have your business or venue listed in our accessible places library, please fill in this form, and we will get your listing on the website as soon as possible.

If you’re planning a trip or adventure, there are accessible travel agencies and tour operators that specialise in tourism for our disabled community. Connecting with these organisations is a great way to experience amazing sites around Aotearoa, while knowing that your needs will be taken care of. Accessible travel agencies consider things like accessible accommodation, accessible transport options, daily living and mobility aids, sighted guides for blind travelers, sign language interpreters for Deaf and hard of hearing travelers, accessible activities, and adaptive sports and adventure equipment.

We also have advice on what to do in the event of an emergency. This includes medical emergencies, mental health emergencies, fire, gas leaks, and natural disasters (like an earthquake, flooding, or other extreme weather).
