Be. Lab
1 in 4 New Zealanders currently live with an access need. At Be. Lab (formerly known as Be. Accessible), this statistic isn’t about deficit, lack, or limitation. Because for us, this statistic isn’t about disability – it’s about possibility. We support our nation’s leaders, thinkers, and makers to embrace the opportunities accessibility presents.

About
Our vision is for New Zealand to become the most accessible nation in the world and we invite you to join us in making this a reality.
We deliver innovative and creative social change programmes to support businesses and communities to become fully accessible, enabling all citizens to participate and thrive.
The world is changing rapidly and accessibility in New Zealand is now at a critical juncture. New technologies and global trends around social and environmental values are allowing us to question what we want our future world, and our future society, to look like.
However, unless we are actively designing access into all products, services, employment, education and the broader economy, the default position will remain inaccessible to the 25% of New Zealanders living with access needs.
We believe that New Zealand has an opportunity to become a world-leader in accessible social and economic development and we invite you to join us in this mission.
