Statistics New Zealand - Volunteers Needed - 11 May 2010
Every five years, Statistics NZ surveys people with disabilities to get a better picture of the well-being of all New Zealanders.
This survey collects important information that Government and community organisations use to make decisions that affect everyone living with a disability, including their families and carers. Between December 2009 and June 2010, Statistics NZ will test the survey to make sure the questions are easy for everyone to understand and answer.
