Disability Information Advisory Services (DIAS) provide independent information and advice to disabled people, their families, whānau, aiga, caregivers and providers and the general public.
They can tell you about Ministry-funded and non-Ministry funded disability support services, and how you can find them. This information may include:
- how to find support and advocacy groups
- how to find a Needs Assessment and Service Coordination organisation
- information about what’s available in your community
- information related to a particular disability.
The service is available to everyone, for free. You can visit a DIAS whenever you want.
Some DIAS organisations are regional, while others are nationwide.
