Community consultation will open on 10 February and run until 24 March 2025.
This consultation is about the essential disability services and supports that people may get after an assessment from a Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination organisation, or an Enabling Good Lives site.

While everyone is welcome to participate, Disability Support Services especially want to hear from people receiving these services and whānau, carers, and advocates.
They want your feedback on:
- clearer assessment and allocation processes
- options for changes to flexible funding
There are options to attend in-person and online, and your feedback will build on the DSS survey from late last year.
For more info including dates and locations, check out the DSS website
Your feedback will help Government to make decisions to stabilise and strengthen disability support services.
