Disability Responsiveness

Our role

CCDHB provide the planning and funding functions of disability support services for people aged 65 years and older, who generally experience disabilities due to the increasing complexity of their health needs. Younger people with disabilities who are more likely to have the same health needs as the rest of the population - but may require greater linkages across sectors such as housing, education, transport and vocational support - have disability support services funded by the Ministry of Health.

Sub Regional Disability Forum

New projects

CCDHB and Wellington City Council have entered a partnership to set up a new improved regional community directory at Wellington Council.

Two people with experience of disability have been funded by MSD to work on the Directory with a particular emphasis on access to all services - health, disability, social and recreational. Parents of disabled chidlren and clinicians have called for such a resource to support better community integration particularly for teenagers in transition. The resource will have access and referral information across all areas and a mechanism and resource to evaluate and update has been promised.
