Services for people in compulsory care
IDEA Services provides compulsory care that focuses on rehabilitation.
This is a Regional Intellectual Disability Supported Accommodation Service (RIDSAS), contracted by the Ministry of Health to provide rehabilitation services for people with high and complex needs who have committed an offence.
Auckland and Wellington locations
We have locations for this service in both Auckland and Wellington, where we support people who are ordered by the court under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003.
The complexities of this group require the services to be flexible and responsive to their changing needs as they are supported through their rehabilitation.
