Access Matters Aotearoa

We are a group of passionate Disabled People’s Organisations, Service Providers, and Advocacy Organisations. We want all Kiwis to work together to create a fully accessible Aotearoa New Zealand, where people with access needs can participate to their full potential as citizens and consumers. Existing laws on “discrimination”, “equality before law” and “reasonable accommodation” do not provide sufficient guidance to public and private sector organisations on how to design a website, provide employment, or deliver goods and services. Nor do these laws make it easy to identify and remedy matters when things are wrong which is yet another barrier. We are a united group, aiming to unite all New Zealanders for a better Aotearoa New Zealand.
