NASC is a gateway to accessing a range of disability support services.  The Ministry of Health contracts with NorthAble to provide this service, and this service is free.  The NASC service is for people aged 0 to 65 years who have an intellectual, physical, or sensory disability, or a combination of these, where the disability is likely to continue for a minimum of six months and result in a reduction of independent functioning.

LYNKZ is a Community Participation programme incorporating Vocational Support i.e. assisting and supporting people whilst they’re seeking employment, and Oranga Wairua, the cultural component of the programme.  LYNKZ is for people living with a physical, intellectual or sensory disability.  The programme is funded by the Ministry of Social Development for people aged 18 – 64 years.
