Our mission
IHC will advocate for the rights, inclusion and welfare of all people with intellectual disabilities and support them to live satisfying lives in the community.
What we do
We lobby and advocate for the human rights of all people with intellectual disabilities at community, national and international levels.
We raise money and awareness of the issues facing people with intellectual disabilities through our charitable activities, our advocacy programme, social media and other communication channels.
Our charity work includes providing advocacy, information through Australasia’s largest intellectual disability library and friendship and skill-based volunteering.
We employ around 4,000 staff and directly support approximately 4,000 people with intellectual disabilities around New Zealand through our government funded disability services.
Our services include residential and day services, supported living, specialist support and social housing.
Our property subsidiary, Accessible Properties, is New Zealand’s largest non-government social housing provider prioritising people with disabilities, older people and those on low incomes.
