The New Zealand Disability Strategy is the Government’s long-term plan to create a more inclusive Aotearoa, setting priorities for how disabled people and tāngata whaikaha Māori can fully participate in every part of life.

Why your input matters
The NZ Disability Strategy is important because it will set the direction for disability across government for the next five years.
It will include a set of actions to help improve the lives of whānau hauā in the areas of:
• education
• employment
• health
• housing
• justice.
Who can attend?
This hui is open to all — tāngata whaikaha, whānau, allies, and anyone who wants to contribute their voice. It is important you attend, we wanted to ensure your voices are captured!
