UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities | New Zealand Disability Strategy

A fully inclusive New Zealand, where people with impairments can say "we live in a society that highly values our lives and continually enhances our full participation."

How government funding of supports for disabled people can align with the Ministry of Health's new model for disability supports.

Disabled people may need supports to help them do everyday things in everyday ways. A new model for the Ministry of Health's disability supports is about increasing disabled people's control and choice over their supports and their lives.

What government provides to enable disabled people to move around their community.

Moving around and accessing the built environment is a fundamental activity that enables, or creates a barrier against, disabled people getting into work, education and training, or otherwise participating in their community. It allows people to have a choice in what they can do.

What government provides to promote disabled people getting into paid work.

Getting paid work increases a disabled person's independence, increases their social networks, and improves their financial security and sense of self-worth. It promotes respect from others and contributes to leading an ordinary life.
