DINZ is a service provided by the members of the NZ Federation of Disability Information Centres. We provide information by phone on our 0800 disability info line, electronically or face to face with the experts who work in our Centres, many of whom have personal experience of disability.
DINZ is not a directory of services. There are already sites that people can use such as Firstport if they want to look up a service’s contact details. We believe that the most useful information can be obtained by engaging with local people in our Centres. Services change, they come and go, and while this is generally known at local level it can take a while for changes to filter through on national sites. The DINZ site provides information relating to general areas of life, and enables people to access information in their own communities, about the supports and services they need to lead good lives.
Anyone can use DINZ. Nationwide we provide information and advice; community linking; resources and support, to disabled people and their family, whānau or aiga. We also assist community organisations, healthcare professionals, local councils, architects and builders, local businesses, teachers and students, the general public, locals and visitors.
