Note that this community consultation runs in parallel with consultation specifically with providers.
The DSS team at MSD want to stabilise disability support services so that they are fairer, more consistent, more transparent, and sustainable into the future. They need the support of disabled people as they start community consultation so disabled people, families, carers and providers can have their say on this important mahi.
Community consultation runs from 10 February until 24 March 2025 on:
- assessment and allocation processes
- options for changes to flexible funding.
The DSS team would appreciate help to raise awareness of the consultation through disabled people’s social channels so that disabled people and those who care for/support them can participate fully in the community consultation.
They are developing the following options for sharing on social media channels:
- image tiles with DSS branding and accompanying image descriptions
- text for a social media post
