Who we are | Ko wai mātou

NZCare and Geneva Community Living have come together to form NZCL, an organisation dedicated to supporting people with disabilities in New Zealand. Our Disability Support Services reflect our belief that all New Zealanders deserve to live fully, have equal opportunities, and achieve their ambitions.

Our values of respect support and excellence are central to everything we do at NZCL. They shape and drive our behaviour along with our relationships with colleagues, partners, stakeholders and of course the people we support and their whānau.

You can be part of our team to enable people with a disability to live a life of choice, freedom and independence. NZCL provides a diverse range of support services for people with disability and their whānau. Join us and discover a rewarding and fulfilling role that can make a difference in someone's life and lead to a lifelong career.

We are committed to ensuring our services are delivered to Māori in a manner that recognises and respects Māori values and beliefs. As an organisation we recognise our obligation to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua who have unique values, social structures and worldviews.

We work with a range of partners in local and central Government, public and private sector agencies and community groups to advise on delivering effective and efficient disability support now and in the future.
