Survey - "How life is going for the disability community"
We have made several changes to the survey in response to feedback, including shortening it and splitting it into separate versions for different groups. Please choose the version right for you.
Why is the survey important and who will participate
As we continue in Level 3 COVID-19 and beyond, it is important to understand the issues associated with the COVID-19 emergency being experienced by disabled people and their whānau/families.
It is also important to hear from service providers and others in the disability sector. This will help us understand which issues require more work. It will also help us understand which issues are being managed effectively and the progress being made.
This is a weekly survey
Each week we will close the survey, analyse the results, and report them to government agencies, disability organisations and the Minister for Disability Issues. The survey will then be repeated the next week. We hope you will do the survey again. The survey may be repeated less frequently over time.
We want to understand where progress is being made and where more action is required.
What is covered in the survey
Questions in this survey cover different topics, including information, safety, and how you are going. Some of these questions may bring up difficult feelings or thoughts, so we have provided links to information about these issues at the end of the survey.
If you are having trouble with the survey links please contact odi@msd.govt.nz
Privacy and confidentiality
Your results will be treated in confidence. As we report the information, consistent with the Privacy Act, we will make sure no one person or their information is able to be identified. You may choose not to provide your name or organisation.
