Careers
For nearly 60 years, Paralympics New Zealand has championed Para sport in New Zealand. Our legacy of athletic performance at summer and winter Paralympic Games is not only world beating, but more importantly life changing. We believe we can contribute to a transformed New Zealand which is truly inclusive where Para athletes have the opportunity to participate at all levels of sport and are equally recognised for their successes.
We work together with our members and partners to ensure equitable opportunities for Para athletes. Our core roles are to provide strategic leadership through collaborative partnerships to strengthen and grow Para sport in New Zealand, and to lead teams to the Paralympic Games.
As the National Paralympic Committee for New Zealand, we support the international Paralympic Movement in recognising the value and power of Para sport and see our purpose as transforming lives through Para sport in New Zealand. PNZ has strong values that underpins everything we do – leadership, excellence and advocacy.
