Our partners

We are a member of the Disabled People's Organisations Coalition (DPO Coalition).

The DPO Coalition meets with a wide range of government agencies. The objective of the meetings with officials is to get improved outcomes for disabled people.

We regularly discuss the need to ensure accessibility and to uphold the rights of disabled people under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

In addition to DPA, the other members of the DPO Coalition are:

• Association of Blind Citizens New Zealand (Blind Citizens NZ)
• Balance Aotearoa
• Deaf Aotearoa
• Mana Pasefika
• Muscular Dystrophy Association of New Zealand Inc, and
• People First New Zealand / Ngā Tāngata Tuatahi.
