Can I get funding for vehicle repairs?

The Disability Support Services (previously Whaikaha – Ministry of Disabled People) funding we administer does not cover any vehicle repairs, whether the vehicle is designated for modification for a person with disabilities or not.

However, there are alternative options available through the Ministry of Social Development and non-government organisations.

Other options available to you include consulting with Work and Income, public transport, mobility taxis, and the possibility of applying for grants from various organisations, such as the NZ Lottery Grants Board.
