The National Intellectual Disability (ID) Service holds a number of contracts funded directly by the Ministry of Health. These contracts are part of a framework of interconnected services for people with an ID. One of the contracts we hold is for services for clients that are placed under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care & Rehabilitation) Act 2003 (IDCC&R). These services include:

• Community Consultation Liaison ID Team
• Behaviour Support (Specialist Assessments)

We also hold the Complex Youth Assessment and Co-ordination (MVCOT) contract with the Ministry for Vulnerable Children (Oranga Tamariki).

In addition to the above regional and national contracts, the Mental Health, Addiction and Intellectual Disability (MHAID) service also holds the contract for the Forensic Coordination Service (ID) and the Community Mental Health ID Team.
