Nau mai, haere mai.

Welcome to Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People.

Whaikaha is being established as a standalone government department.
We will work across government to improve outcomes for more than one million disabled people in New Zealand.

We will provide disability system leadership across government and focus on removing barriers and bringing about societal changes that improve the lives of disabled people.

Disability support services are now provided by MSD.
