We're Calling for Accessibility Legislation
#AccessMattersNZ
Ask your local MP to support #AccessLawNow
In July 2020, the Cabinet Social Wellbeing Committee agreed to push ahead with drafting an accessibility legislative framework.
That work is now complete and the Government presented its 'Accessibility for New Zealanders Bill' to Parliament in July 2022.
This new access law will have a profound impact, for many years, on how people with access needs participate in our society.
But will it meet our expectations?
It’s now time for the Government to make good its commitment.
