The Office for Disability Issues
The Office for Disability Issues is responsible for ensuring government keeps faith with the New Zealand Disability Strategy, by promoting the participation and inclusion of disabled people in our society. On this site you will find information about the Office and our work. We provide a focus on disability issues in government, lead cross-sector policy, and provide support to the Minister for Disability Issues.
