The detailed design of the new disability support system is up for discussion on virtual testing groups

The System Transformation team has had a busy year engaging stakeholders across the disability sector to design both the high level and detailed aspects of the new disability support system.

Some of the prototypes that working groups have been designing are being put up on virtual testing groups.  Virtual testing groups are a platform where the disability sector can provide feedback on the detailed design of the different elements. If you are interested in joining a virtual testing group please email STfeedback@moh.govt.nz                                                                                                               

Next year the updates will focus on what the impacts will be on the different groups within the disability sector. This will answer the question of ‘What does it mean for me?’ as a disabled person, family member or provider.

The Ministry of Health’s Sacha O’Dea is working in partnership with the disability sector on System Transformation. You can find out more on the Enabling Good Lives website .
