Your Rights! – Ōu Mōtika

In Aotearoa New Zealand, it’s important that everyone knows their rights when it comes to health and disability care. You can view the Health & Disability Commissioner’s Videos in Te Reo and English by clicking here…

The Nationwide Health and Disability Advocacy Service offers free, independent, and confidential advice and support to help you resolve issues with health and disability services.

Our advocates are here to let you know about your rights, answer your questions and talk through your options for making a complaint. We will support you through the whole process.
