New Zealand Disability Strategy 2016-2026

The New Zealand Disability Strategy 2016-2026 guides the work of government agencies on disability issues.

The vision of the New Zealand Disability Strategy is:

“New Zealand is a non-disabling society - a place where disabled people have an equal opportunity to achieve their goals and aspirations, and all of New Zealand works together to make this happen.”
