Access Ability Limited - Northland
The Regional Intellectual Disability Care Agency (RIDCA) is a service contracted to Access Ability by the Ministry of Health. Under the RIDCA contract, Access Ability provide individualised and specialised responses to people with an intellectual disability aged 17-65 who have high and complex needs, including people under compulsory care orders. These responses include a comprehensive assessment of need, care coordination, intensive service coordination, links to supported accommodation services and secure services, and a 24 hour telephone response.
There are 2 ways to access the RIDCA service. Firstly, referrals are received directly from Youth and District courts in the Auckland and Northland regions. Secondly, referrals are received from the Needs Assessment and Service Coordination Agencies (NASCs) in the Auckland and Northland regions. These organisations are the Taikura Trust in Papatoetoe, Auckland and North Able in Whangarei. Once a referral is received, eligibility to the RIDCA service will be determined.
