Our ApproachWe're committed to supporting and enabling Maori, whanau, hapu, Iwi and communities to realise their own potential and aspirations. Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. We care about the wellbeing and success of our people and provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where people can thrive and be who they are.

- Support disabled people and whanau to hold positive expectations and aspirations for their lives.
- Work creatively with disabled adults, children and their whanau to plan and develop the life they want, including how opportunities in the community could be accessed, what current support is working well and what new and different support could be established.
