One in five New Zealanders has a long-term impairment. Many are unable to reach their potential or participate fully in the community because of barriers they face doing things that most New Zealanders take for granted. The barriers range from the purely physical, such as access to facilities, to the attitudinal, due to poor awareness of disability issues.

CMDHB is committed to ensuring the services it funds support the NZ Disability Strategy vision:

“The vision of this Strategy is a fully inclusive society. New Zealand will be inclusive when people with impairments can say they live in: 'A society that highly values our lives and continually enhances our full participation."
