Our Disability Information, Advocacy & Support service provides advocacy, āwhina, and tautoko to ensure individuals and their whānau are supported every step of the way. We offer helpful information and carry out assessments to identify needs and connect people with the right services.

We facilitate access to disability support services, government services, and community providers, helping whānau navigate what’s available. This includes informing individuals and their whānau about both Ministry of Health (MOH) and non-MOH funded support options.

We also provide educational information to caregivers, providers, and the wider community to promote awareness and understanding of disability supports. Our advocacy extends to working alongside Māori and non-Māori with disability providers, government agencies, community organisations, GPs, and specialists to ensure everyone is heard and well represented.

Additionally, we support tangata whaikaha through needs assessments, service coordination, and by accompanying them to WINZ, GP, and specialist appointments—ensuring they feel confident and supported throughout the process.

Unfortunately, as of the 10th May 2026 we will no longer be doing Total Mobility and subsidised Bee Card Assessments
