Biography

The Council was formed in 1961 "to support organisations in their efforts to help the handicapped and to assist in their rehabilitation". Originally called the Co-ordinating Council for the Handicapped, in 1968 it added Christchurch to its name. In 1985 it disbanded, as the Disabled Persons Assembly (N.Z.) established a Christchurch branch.
