Our Disability Plan guides our commitment to working in partnership, investing, and building system-wide capability to deliver better outcomes for disabled people.
Working in partnership, we aim to create sustainable change in the play, active recreation and sport sector so disabled tamariki and rangatahi have quality opportunities to participate in the physical activities of their choice.
This video series is about including disabled tamariki and rangatahi in sport and recreation. Learn what we can do to ensure everyone enjoys the benefits of being active, regardless of their disability, and hear from disabled young people themselves about how small changes can make a big difference to their lives.
This fund invests in mahi that leads to sustainable changes across the disability spectrum. It aims to enable inclusionary practices and address gaps in providing participation opportunities for physically and intellectually disabled tamariki and rangatahi, as well as those with invisible impairments. Through an open contestable process, 16 projects were selected to receive funding for initiatives that increase opportunities for disabled tamariki and rangatahi to be active and build capability in the sector.
