Code of Rights when using a health or disability service.

September 28, 2023 | Advocacy, Life with MS, Support

When you use a health or disability service in Aotearoa New Zealand, you have the protection of the Code of Rights.

It’s important that everyone knows their rights so they can ask questions, seek support, and ensure their voices are heard.

The Health and Disability Commissioner has produced an animated video to explain your rights so you can ask questions, get support and make sure your voices are heard.

The video is available in English and Te Reo Māori below or here: https://www.hdc.org.nz/your-rights/videos/
