Our Story

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.

That’s why everything we do is designed to enable people with disabilities to be part of their local community, connect with whānau and friends, and do the things they enjoy. We will work with you and whānau to provide support that is personalised, flexible and reflect the choices that you want to make in your life.

Testimonials

“Going to work every day to be given the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others really gives me a sense of purpose. I find the work environment both relaxed and flexible, and am part an awesome team of supportive and interesting people.”
Sean
Support Worker
“I love my job because every day is different. I work with young people with disabilities helping them achieve their goals and dreams.”
Moira
Support Worker
“Building the relationships and seeing someone’s independence and confidence grow is so rewarding. There are challenging times, but it’s worth it.”
Carrie
Support Worker
"I’ve always wanted to go flatting and live more independently. I did just that when I moved into a NZCL home! I still have some support, but I feel more independent, going on community outings, exercising more and eating healthier."
Stevie
Person we support
"Thank you very much for your great leadership, sound advice, professional conduct, open door policy and prompt service. Thank you also for the 'community support survival kit' personally delivered to us. I often look at it and feel encouraged"
