About Access Matters Aotearoa

Every New Zealander deserves to be able to participate fully in society.

Access Matters Aotearoa Trust (AMA) leads a social change campaign in Aotearoa New Zealand advocating for all areas of public life to be accessible to everyone, regardless of access needs. Our movement has thousands of committed campaigners, supporting organisations, and business champions calling for accessibility legislation with enforceable standards.

Accessibility legislation acknowledges that all New Zealanders will have a disability at some point, whether permanently or temporarily. People with visible and invisible disabilities will continue to experience barriers in everyday life until accessibility is established as a right in our laws.
