Working in partnership

Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People works in partnership with disabled people, tāngata whaikaha Māori and their families and whānau to transform the lives of disabled New Zealanders.

We are responsible for:

• the commissioning and delivery of disability support services with a clear mandate to transform the way they are delivered, and
• supporting other government agencies to incorporate disability perspectives and needs into their own policies and services so they can meet their own responsibilities to disabled people and tāngata whaikaha Māori.
