Past, Present and Future

The Disability Resource Service West Coast aims to provide disability and health related information to disabled people, older people, family/whanau and others who support the rights of everyone to live good lives in their communities. 

Historically there has been excellent provision of information via the Disability Information Service in Greymouth. Eventually it became no longer viable to have a Centre in Greymouth so the service was provided from the Queenstown Disabilities Resource Centre. This was not successful so the NZ Federation of Disability Information Centres introduced the Disability Resource Service West Coast has contracted WESTREAP to find innovative ways of providing disability information to people of the West Coast.
