The Auckland Disability Providers Network Inc. (ADPN) aims to collectively work on initiatives and issues around providing services for disabled people.
On September 6 Mayoral candidates spoke to an audience of 50 people on what they would do for the disability sector of Auckland if they should be elected as Mayor of the Super City. Few were able to grasp the problems that Auckland experiences, but it was an opportunity to educate them in the hope that should any one of them come to power, they will remember some of the information that was shared. There is no doubt, we have to continue working and reminding the governing bodies that funding for disability issues in general, and in Auckland in particular, remains a major problem. (more…)
The ADPN is planning a Big Event in 2011

The Auckland Disability Providers Network believes that “Auckland is disabled in terms of funding Disability”
We ask six mayoral candidates: “How will you ensure Auckland gets its fair share of funding?”
Come prepared to ask the questions to which you need answers.
We need to get it right if this is to be a SUPER CITY.

Early July 2010, a meeting was arranged with Minister Tariana Turia and the ADPN Executive. However, owing to circumstances beyond her control, the Minister was unable to attend. Instead, the Minister was represented by Dr. Jan Scown, Office for Disability Issues, Trish Davies and Marsha Marshall, both of the Ministry of Health. The Minister sent written responses to questions that had been asked prior to the meeting and these may be read by clicking on the following Whanau Ora and ADPN-Q+ A-from-Tariana-Turia-July-10
