Disability Advisory Group NZ
Disability Advisory Group NZ is being built as a practical advisory and information website for disabled people, families, whānau, carers and advocates across New Zealand.
The goal is simple: to help people find the right information faster. Disability support can be confusing, especially when services, funding rules and government systems change. This website brings trusted updates, useful links and plain-English guidance together in one place.
Helping People Find the Help They Need
Many people do not know where to start when they need disability support. Some are looking for funding, equipment, respite, advocacy, education support, transport options, ACC help, housing advice or services for children and young people.
Disability Advisory Group NZ will act as a starting point. It will not replace professional advice, but it will help people understand their options, ask better questions and find the next step.

Families & Whānau
Families often carry the hardest load. This section will help parents, carers and whānau find practical information and support pathways.

A Website Built Around Access to Information

The aim is to create a useful, easy-to-follow website that helps people feel less lost when trying to navigate disability support in New Zealand.
