Supportlinks’ younger person’s team has been renamed ‘Enable New Zealand Needs Assessment and Service Coordination’, or shortened to Enable New Zealand NASC.
There are no changes to the service, aside from the name change.
Enable New Zealand continues to be contracted by the Ministry of Health to provide the same needs assessment and service coordination services for disabled people under 65 years of age.
Enable New Zealand General Manager, Heather Browning says: “This name change cements the alignment of the NASC Services for disabled people, with other disability support services provided by Enable New Zealand.
“Everyone receiving services from Supportlinks’ younger person’s team can be assured Enable New Zealand’s commitment to working alongside, and in collaboration with, those whose lives are impacted by disability, remains firm.”
