Have your say about the future of Disability Support Services. Feedback will build on the DSS survey from late last year.
This consultation is about the essential disability services and supports that people may get after an assessment from a Needs Assessment and Service Co-ordination organisation or an Enabling Good Lives site.
While everyone is welcome to participate, Disability Support Services especially want to hear from people receiving these services and whānau, carers, and advocates.
They want your feedback on:
• clearer assessment and allocation processes
• options for changes to flexible funding
DSS recommend reading this discussion document before giving feedback:
