We offer a supported application service for people who cannot access our funding opportunities.

About the supported application service
You can book a meeting with one of our advisers who will support you in applying.
At the meeting, we will:
- confirm if Creative New Zealand funding is right for you
- help you to understand the application process
- make sure we understand your support needs and
- figure out a plan together on how to make your application.
The meeting can be done by phone, online meeting/video call or in person if possible.
If you are Deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, speech impaired or find it hard to talk, you can use the New Zealand Relay Service www.nzrelay.co.nz or Creative New Zealand can organise a NZSL interpreter to attend the meeting.
Creating an application takes time. If you need to make a supported application, be sure to get in touch with an adviser as soon as possible before the closing date of the opportunity. Please keep in mind that service capacity may be limited based on the adviser's availability.

When you book we'll ask you:
- how you want us to contact you (phone, email, text or video call)
- if you need access support to talk with us, such as NZSL interpreters
- if you will have a support person with you and if so, their name
- if there is anything else you would like us to be aware of when we support you.
Additional things to know about
- Creative New Zealand cannot pay for you or support people to attend supported application meetings or for costs to help develop your application.
- NZSL interpreters supporting meetings will be from the NZ Relay Service.
- You do not need to explain why you have any access requirements. Anything you do share will be treated confidentially.
- Using the supported application service will not be referenced in your application and will not influence how your application is assessed.
