The Office of Disability (the Office) are undertaking a second consultation round to review the priorities and actions in the Disability Action Plan 2014-2018.  Many of the issues that have been raised by disabled people do not clearly lie within the responsibility of any one government agency or non-government organisation. For these issues, more than one agency needs to be involved to add value and address the issue. The Plan provides leadership and a coordination mechanism to help progress working together on these issues.

There are other actions important to disabled people being led by a single government agencies. These single agency led actions are not included in the Plan. The Office for Disability Issues will develop a separate process to ensure visibility and monitoring of these single agency led actions in early 2016.

Feedback Due: Please send feedback to Jill Clendon jillc@nzno.org.nz by 2 November 2015
