We’re breaking down barriers and creating pathways into the public service for disabled people.

Yesterday we launched a paid summer internship programme across government for disabled students and graduates. It's the start of an exciting journey for the 13 interns in their 12-week placements across 10 government agencies.

This programme is about breaking employment barriers and showing the strengths and perspectives disabled people bring to workplaces.

Follow us this summer as we share the experiences and insights of our interns and the difference they’re making across the public sector.

The Neurodiversity Series is back! Join Dr Annie Southern to explore neurodiversity, autism, ADHD and multiplicity over three informative and engaging workshops.

This three-part neurodiversity series offers an introduction to neurodiversity, exploring what it means and why it matters today. The first session lays the foundations by unpacking the origins and social context of neurodiversity, the second focuses on autism and ADHD as two core neurodivergent experiences, and the third explores the idea of multiplicity and the many facets of identity. Together, the series builds awareness, increases understanding, and encourages a more inclusive and respectful approach to cognitive differences.

The Ministry of Health – Manatū Hauora has today published results from the 2024/25 New Zealand Health Survey.

The results provide valuable information about the health and wellbeing of adults and children in New Zealand. The survey is an essential tool which supports the development of health services, policies and strategies.

The survey captures information about a range of health topics, such as alcohol use, va**ng and smoking, mental health, eating habits, and access to health services.

The data shows most New Zealanders continue to be in good health and good progress is being made in areas such as reducing young people’s rates of hazardous drinking over time. There are also areas where more work is needed and there is work underway to address this.
