Invitation to the Disability Action Plan workshops
The Office for Disability Issues and the Disabled Peoples’ Organisations Coalition are holding workshops to gather your ideas about what should be in the new Disability Action Plan 2019‒2022.
The Disability Action Plan will document the government’s commitments for the next four years to implement the New Zealand Disability Strategy. To gather your views, we are running a series of workshops building on regional meetings held in 2018 by Hon Carmel Sepuloni, Minister for Disability Issues. ODI and the DPOs would love to visit each and every region, however our time and resources are limited.
If you decide not to attend a workshop please tell us your views we also invite you to feedback by text, video or using our online feedback tool. If you would like us to phone you, book a time by phoning or texting us on 029 495 0010.
